Epson 2400 ABW feature

Epson 2400 ABW feature

2007-04-04 by Debbi

Should I select the ABW feature for this image?  http://www.pbase.com/debbi/image/
76606085 I will be using Red River Polar Satin. Normally I would, but the touch of color has 
me stumped.
Thanks you for any opinions.

I wouldn't.  It is my opinion that this image would be best printed in 
color.

Good use for those Marshall's Photo Oils that haven't dried-out.

But it's your image, Debbie. Lot's you can do with it. Make a mask for the
face and spray with Pam and the Krylon of your choice :  )

This is one of those areas where PrintFIX PRO 2.0 is at its best: it can 
print neutral B&W and color at the same time, or very precisely controlled tinted 
B&W from images where the tint is in the image, as well as where the image is 
neutral, and the tint is in the profile. So my preference would be to print 
this image via the printer's color mode, using a PFP2 profile.

Yikes, I was hoping for a less expensive fix 
($549.00). I will keep that in mind for the 
future, however.
