I've purchased a new to me (epson 2200) to print an archive of black and white prints I've taken....
I've done everything I can and still don't have one fine print.
The prints look perfect on my monitor, but when I print them they c ome out t wo values higher )lighter all across the print.....I can't tell you how many prints I've printed and still not one worth keeping....can someone tell me (basic - do it like this first...." or "follow this way, do this first"....
I'm frustrated and still don't have a beautiful print......I tried all the quad stuff some time ago and am back to just the epson 2200.....but can't get a p rint....I use an emac and photoshop CS2.
Im printing on an Inkject Art Solutions paper that won't be my paper of choice....its too glossy.....or soft glossy.....is called Premiere Fine art Entrada M natural....I think........
Thanks,
Robbie Bell

I started delving into digital B&W with an Epson 1200 and an hextone(6)inkset from MIS about 5 years ago. It was a good learning experience and while I did get some good B&W, I felt it was lacking. Last year I moved up to a K3 printer and haven't looked back.
Unfortunatly, with the printer you have, you may not get what you may consider a true B&W print. While it may be a good printer, it is ancient by todays standards. Don't feel offended. My current printer was recently made old when Epson released a newer version.
If I'm not mistaken(I did not have the 2200)you only have one black ink. That means that the printer has to make up the tonality of B&W with colored inks. Next to imposible to do by todays standards. The more up date printers that people are using for their B&W are using multiple blacks in the inkset. Epson's printers that utilize their K3 inks(3 different blacks)are one such type of printers. You may want to check out a Yahoo site that is dedicated to digital B&W.
