Toti The HP's have a good rep for printing in black and white. Perhaps a call to HP to check with them on this. Are you printing with all color inks or black ink only ? QTR is a 3rd party rip that seems to be getting many good words from users. I do not know if it supports you HP printer. ciao.

I'm new to the list and not mother language, hence apologies in advance for my possibly clumsy English. I recently shifted to a completely digital workflow (I'm an editorial photographer) and just finished searching into the forum's archive: lots of interesting topics here, though mostly "Epson oriented". I'm having a very hard time in order to obtain good B&W pictures from my 42" HP 5000 PS UV, which I'm VERY satisfied with as for LF colour prints. Any chance to get what I need, in your opinion, or must I purchase a dedicated Epson 7600 with a quadtone black inks kit (which I would not be really happy to), instead? I'm not looking for a "click here" solution which I know doesn't exist, but I would be happy not to buy new hardware: profiling the plotter had not given consistent and repeatable results so far (maybe I'm missing something), and the built-in RIP really sucks B&W wise: any third-part solution or specific workflow you could suggest? Thank you very much for your help: this forum is really interesting and will rise my learning curve quite a lot. -- Toti Calò (possibly in English) http://www.thgpictures.com http://www.grafichehorizon.it mailto: tical@...
