making a digital negative on Epson SP2200

making a digital negative on Epson SP2200

2014-03-16 by <dbsearch04@...>

Hello Group:

My negative printed but it came out black and green! :-(

I am printing the “Onsight BW Evaluation Image” (grayscale) which I downloaded from:

http://www.on-sight.com/download/Onsight_BW_Evaluation.zip

Previously I brought the image up in Photoshop and printed it on Epson Supreme Lustre and it looks great as a B&W print (no changes in PS).

Then I did the following:
  • got out a sheet of Pictorico OHP oriented with the traingle cut out of the upper right corner
  • taped it to the piece of cardbord in the Pictorico package
  • figured out manual feed on the SP2200
  • flipped the image horizontally in PS
  • Inverted the image in PS
  • set the profile to Premium Glossy, Super print (2880)
Then when it came out it is black and green.

I have stock SP2200 inks loaded.

On my Mac OSX 10.9.2, I could not find the option for “Paper Source=manual feed“ so I set it to “Letter - Roll”.

Can anyone here point me in the right direction on how to get this to print black?

Maybe when I take it into the darkroom it will still develop correctly, but the green coloring makes me think I am not doing it correctly.

Thanks in advance.

Regards..

Epson R260 and CIS for sale200

2014-07-12 by Le Globe Trotteur

I have this unopened Epson Stylus R260 with an unused empty CIS system for it still in the box. I have been keeping it as a backup in case my 2200 died. I am getting a 2400, so the 2200 is going to be the backup now.
If anybody is interested, I will ask $100 for both the printer and CIS + shipping and handling. I will ship UPS
I will go to UPS to find out the exact amount for the 2 boxes before I collect payment.

I always wanted to convert this printer to a dedicated B&W as I remember it was supposed to do a great job

Thanks.
