Digital BW, The Print

I finally closed the deal on a used Epson 3000 with a full set of MIS
Quadtone inks, and have begun to play with it, using Photoshop 5 to
manage my image files, and send them to the printer.

The fellow ran off a really beautiful print for me, when I went to pick
up the printer, to show me what the machine is capable of... amazing! I
have printed up a few sheets of my own, and see that I have a LOT to
learn.<g> I know that a lot of the learning process is trial and error,
but if anyone can suggest a Title, Author, or URL which they have found
as a particularly good resource, I would be very grateful.

I figure that the first hundred or so questions I will have will be a
little too remedial to post to a list, and I'm not even sure which are
the best keywords to use in a search. Heh!

Thanks in advance, for any suggestions.

Actually you found perhaps the best resource there is.  Go to the
link for this forum:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint

and click on the links for Files, Bookmarks and Database on the left.
There you will find an unbelievable amount of information and hours
and hours of great reading. Not to mention searching and reading
through the Messages of the past as well.

I just got started on this whole thing with a used 1160 and MIS FS-N
inks and those resources were invaluable.


Best regards,

Robert,

As far as I know no one has written the book on grayscale inkjet printing.
At the moment this list is probably your best resource. Please feel free to
ask away, that's why the group is here.
