Black only printing and "mono"
2004-08-03 by colingruk
Hi, "mono" is the title of Arem publishing's (formerly Creative Monochrome) bimonthly magazine for black and white enthusiasts www.arempublishing.com. In Issue 40 May/June 2004, the editor Roger Maile expounds on black only printing with a "how to" guide. Quotes below are selected by me from the article: "...it is perfectly possible to produce technically pleasing monochrome digital prints on a 'normal' printer using just the black ink." Having referred to the Epson 1290 and Somerset Enhanced Satin and Hahnemuhle Photorag he sets out a procedure which list members may find of interest. This appears to be a different procedure from Clayton's and so may be of interest. In the article's last paragraph he writes "..I maintain that anyone's starting point for monochrome digital should be the single ink printing deescribed here. If you take control of the process you may well find that more elaborate methods are not required." I have not spoken to Roger on this and do not know if he is aware of Clayton's pineering work. I believe "mono' is available in the US. Colin
