Digital BW, The Print

I just completed a 100 copy set of 13x19 B&W prints for a school reunion. The large image of a pencil drawing of their school was done in 1984 and recorded for printing with a digital camera. Although I did a little restoration work in Photoshop, I could have probably skipped that step and worked the pic in Qimage as it has the necessary features.

I printed the set with Qimage (www.ddisoftware.com/qimage) which I use for all my Epson 2200 printing. It costs $39.95 from the web, all upgrades are free and there is a free demo.

I have used the program for years with all sorts of printers to print the prints I sell. The price, features, upgrades and quality is impossible to match.

Hi Avery,

Yes, I haven't used QImage seriously but by all accounts Mike 
Chaney has done a superb job with it. I respect his work and 
method of support tremendously.

But I haven't seriously evaluated QImage for B&W because I 
assumed that it would produce the same quality B&W output 
as the standard Epson driver, i.e. dotless but plagued by 
metamerism.

Was I wrong?

Hello,

Could you elaborate a bit more on b&w printing with Qimage. I
downloaded it and started to play around with it. It prints color
beautifully, truly amazing colors and sharpness. But with the b&w I am
still getting some tones not pure black and white. I am trying to
print with the photoblack. I already have ways of printing almost b&w
without tones with matte black.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mitch
