BW printing on the Epson 2200

[Paul Stenquist]

I spent the last few days printing black and white on the Epson 2200 
with the standard ink set. Fortunately, the standard ink set includes a 
matte black and a light black, which most of us wold call "gray." All 
of the shots were taken with my old LTM Leica in Europe. I've sold a 
local gallery on a show based on these, but I can't print them 
conventionally because some are BW negs, and some are C41 negs. For the 
show, I want eight BW prints that look like they all came from the same 
roll of film. I tweaked them all in PS to make sure there were no 
outrageous highlights or black hole shadows (with the Shadow/Highlight 
tool) and equalized the contrast levels. Then I printed them on Epson 
Velvet Fine Art paper. I'm very pleased. The gallery owner and art 
director are very pleased as well. The Epson 2200 is one hell of a 
printer.
 More about the show later. It's probably going to run around Christmas 
holiday in a Birmingham, Michigan gallery.
