ChrisR@tomnorthfilm I am terrible at printing! I've finally got an Epson ET-8550 and can make black and white prints that really are. But it's so much trial and error! Printing a #PostCardFromAfar and I printed 3 b&w scenes on 7x5, one twice, then the selected low key scene 3 times on matte and twice on oyster, before getting somewhere near acceptable. All using ABW and printing via EPL. 1/2
@carusb Black and white is tough for the Epson dye based printers. Epson AWB is the way to go for B&W.
@tomnorthfilm The ET-8550 has a pigment black which gets used with ABW. I know it's not as good as a full pigment ink set, but it's much smaller, as tanks, and passes for a household printer most of the time.
@carusb My XP15000, which I believe is the spiritual predecessor to your printer, does a reasonable job with B&W, although I do sometimes get a magenta cast. I got this printer to use when we were hosting photography workshops at our country place (since sold). I still, use it for 4x6 prints and quick print jobs. It does especially well with color prints.
