Re: Decent Black and White Image

Post by AJLA »

I have discussed this previously on another forum but can't find the thread.

I have a D88 with cis using sawgrass inks, very happy with the colours although I can't get a nice blak n white image. I thought i could turn something off and it would do the job but it never seems to print just using the black ink.

Is it not possible to do this?

I think you'll find this to be a recurring problem Paul. I'm not sure, but I seem to recall a work-a-round was to NOT use the ICC profile - does that make sense?

So how do you get the results that I can't, do you use the sawgrass profile?
