Digital BW, The Print

The only B&W prints I have done thus far were with the Epson driver in
colour mode.  I just ran them under the tap!  I didn't really check for
metamerism just bronzing and gloss.  I was not happy with the hue of the
image on EPSG - it was definitely ever so slightly green as evidenced by the
greyscale readings.  The shift that peaks around the 30 patch (GG2.2) on HPR
in the colour-managed greyscales is also noticeable by glancing at the
greyscale printouts.  I think I really need to do some QTR curves before
commenting on B&W with regard to anything other than finish and dMax.  I
suspect a QTR controlled BO print would look very very nice for those that
like that single ink look.  I think the LK is too cold for a really smooth
K/LK only ramp.
