Printing Color and B&W Together

Printing Color and B&W Together

2002-04-26 by djwolfe5

I have done this a couple of times using two printers.  I have an 
Epson 1200 and a 750.  The 1200 has MIS Quadtone and the 750 has the 
standard (Epson) Color inks.  In Photoshop the picture had two layers 
one color and the other B&W.  I played around with the blending 
options till I got something that looked good on the screen and then 
turned off one layer and printed, then swapped layers and printed on 
the other printer.  It worked out nice the alignment seemed to be 
right on.  The two layers were of completely different subjects so it 
did not matter if there was some minor misalignment.  This is 
something I plan to continue to play with.  Although in the last 
couple of weeks my 1200 has been giving me fits with the automatic 
feed mechanism not wanting to feed properly.
