Digital BW, The Print

Would some of you guys know how to help me in the flg: I would like to produce a picture 
that is oriiginal black in the shadows, has a warm tone in the midtones and is the original 
white in the highlights, using the ABW in the R2400?

I don't think the ABW driver is capable of handling split-toning.  You
could create your toning in Photoshop, however, and just print via the
standard method (i.e., using the paper's profile and without using the
ABW mode).  The R2400 prints very nice mono using the Epson profiles.

Otherwise, I guess you would have to go with some type of RIP. I'm
pretty sure Imageprint will handle split-toning - not sure about QTR
or any others these days.  (I stopped experimenting when I received my
R2400!)

Hello Paolo,
Epson 2400 ABW driver can't print pre-toned images. ImagePrint RIP 
running on Epson 2200, will accept 'colorized' images that are in the 
RGB space and print beautiful greyscale and color portions. 
You can print it on R2400 through its colour driver (disable ABW) I 
have not yet tried this version.

Thanks Vartkes for yr comments. In fact, the ABW has in the Color 
Management mode the possibility of toning the photo. Try it. You will 
see that there is a color circle where you can choose the tonality of 
your print. There are also other commands that allow you to increase 
or diminish the tonality in the shadows and highlights. After 
choosing the tonality in the circle - h10 and v10 as suggested by a 
member of the forum, I tried to reduce the tonality in the shadows 
and highlights to the minimum, i.e. -26. It seemed to me that it 
worked for the shadows but not for the highlights. I would like to 
know if this is all one can do, in order to tone only the midtones, 
leaving a deep black in the shadows and pure white in th highlights.
