Re: [Digital BW] BW Printing Conclusion

2004-01-23 by Bob Michaels

re: your comment "unless you're satisfied with Black Only printing"
implying BO is not quite as good as quadtone. There are some of use
who can print both ways but prefer the look of a BO print. It's a
personal preference. 

I do believe the consensus of this group is that the ideal way to
print both b&w and color is two printers. I have a 1280 with UT inks
but I mostly print BO with just the Eboni. For color I have a 890. I
wouldn't trade that setup (totaling under $500) for anything out there.

that the only good method of printing BW images is to use quadtone
unless you are satisfied with BO printing.  Is this true?  I wish it
weren't because I would like to see the 4000 or 1280 as the ideal
color/bw solution.
