Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

Since I have many carts lying around doing nothing and I love trying 
stuff I'll give it a try anyways. ;-)

I understand the issues with the R & B channels vs the Epson driver.

Using QTR do you think the Hawk Mountain Condor BW qidf provided with 
your Eboni 6 curves and profiles would be a good starting point?

I,ll let you know if I get banding or not once I've tried stuff for a 
while. :)

Many thanks again,


Denis
