RGB/Gray Scale

RGB/Gray Scale

2005-09-27 by rebphoto

Hi Gang................

I am printing B&W with and Epson C 66 with EZN Inks.

Which is preferable to print from?



To leave the image as RGB and desaturate it.



Or use one of the many methods to convert it to Gray Scale.

I'd use grayscale of desaturate it, if for no other reason than to get a
better idea of what the print will look like.  Since the EZ grays inks are
all the same density, the full RGB print may look just fine, however.
