  Subject: [Digital BW] photogravure and the Epson 2200


  Hi!  just wondering if anyone had any favorite methods for
  making digital positives for photogravure purposes on the Epson
  2200.  I have Dan BUrkholders book, and have been using
  Pictorico OHP.  I've used the curve provided on the CD from the
  Book, but since the Epson 2200 is much newer than the book i
  thouhgt i'd ask around .

  Are there any better curves?  What is the best printing method?
  I've just been using  a workflow for Epson Photo Quality Glossy
  Film  (no color adjust) and 2880dpi, with photo black of course.

  I work for a school and we are trying this out for use in a class.

  any tips or info very very much appriciated!
