Digital BW, The Print

Hello all,

This is my first post on this forum. I've been printing with MIS UT2
inks in an Epson 1290 on Hahnemuehle Photo Rag using Paul Roark's
premade curves. I also use Fineart Pearl for color printing and I love
it... can anyone suggest a good photoshop curve to use as a starting
point for it with B&W?

Thanks,
Ben Connor

Ben,

 

I think the Premier Semi Gloss curves might be the closest, but I have not
tested it.

 

In general, if you find the curve that has the tone you're looking for but
the density ramp is not smooth, you can use Create ICC-RGB to linearize the
setup.  See
