Digital BW, The Print

Just as a point of information, I am told that Cone is releasing the selenium color and neutral color (May be the same, I am not sure) next week at PMA.

  Todd,

  Yeah, I know.
  (out West we have time for this kind of thing, 'yeah' ;-) )

  If one were trying to get a plain or constant gray/tone then a 
  monochrome set is correct.  You accept the base tone chosen by 
  inkset, whether that be lamp black or another.  

  I know you understand blacks come in different shades of color too.  
  This is equivalent to choosing Ilford Galerie (silver) paper vs. Afga 
  Portriga.  Cool vs. a warm with the warm having more latitudes it can 
  render.

  When people are saying they want a selenium tone look, or anything 
  other than the constant tone provided by a monochrome set they will 
  have to use color inks (or at least a two tone set, hence MIS VM).

  My question was pointing at what's in a profile, or 'space' dialogue 
  box that sends the same base information (the image), to the same 
  inkset, on the same paper but results in a different tone bias.  
  Admittedly this would only be a color/multi tone problem.

  Would it be any different to use a single 'profile' (say "Generic 
  Gray or Adobe RGB 1998), leave color controls ON and use the sliders 
  appropriately?

  Since I am finding the profiles have a consistent bias, I also find 
  it possible to correct by simply adding a color screen layer which 
  shifts the color the desired direction.  Those in the A3 exchange 
  will have an example.

  I don't give a hoot about metamerism.  All artwork in all media look 
  different in different lights.  A good image will survive poor 
  display conditions.

  Love Frederick Sommer's quote - "Enthusiasm is the duty of 
  understanding before the night fatal to remembrance"

  Enthusiastically (& chatty)
  Cleavis :-)

  Who is working towards having color and B/W systems.
