Re: [Digital BW] RGB vs. Grayscale using the 2400 ABW setting and Qimage

2007-01-01 by Tom Husband

I don't believe there's any difference when printing RGB in ABW with K3
ink.  At least I don't see any.  I also use Qimage along with
QTR-Create-ICC-RGB and just leave images in RGB.  For me Qimage has
excellent interpolation, sharpening and workflow.
