Anyone use BC (Lyve) canvas with Epson ABW driver?

Anyone use BC (Lyve) canvas with Epson ABW driver?

2009-10-20 by mindstep

Hello,

Does anyone have a recommmendation for media settings that I should use with the Lyve matte canvas and the ABW driver?
 
I have begun using Breathing Color's Lyve matte canvas product, and when I print test targets in color using BC's supplied profiles, everything looks great.  Using ABW, though, the printed images are extremely dark and dense.  I am using the Epson inks with MK black installed.

The ABW settings for BC Chromata White would be useful too, as I understand that they are similar in performance.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Jeff

from what program are you printing and are you using ICC profiles?

I am not familiar with "ABW". I am using Lyve with Photoshop CS4, HP DJ130
and an ICC.

ABW is the B&W print driver accessed through the Epson print dialog box. In other words, you have to be printing with certain Epson printers.
