Title: Anyone have experience printing Sepias? Post by: davidh on April 08, 2011, 03:24:10 AM I need to print a number of images for a window display -all sepia-canvas gallery wraps.
Should I be using CS5 and no color adjustments in the Epson7900 driver, and selecting the paper profiles in Qimage to print... Or use the Advanced B&W color controls in the 7900 driver itself allowing the driver to control and manage 'color' ? Title: Re: Anyone have experience printing Sepias?

David, Don't know much about Photo Shop and sepia, but just asking if you tried using Qimage, and turning on the SEPIA filter in there? Then I just print normally.

Quote Should I be using CS5 and no color adjustments in the Epson7900 driver, and selecting the paper profiles in Qimage to print... I've no experience of printing on canvas with a printer like the 7900 with specialist B&W inks and controls but I've found having a good custom profile for the paper ensures good results for mono. This is on a modest R800 that has 2 blacks, Matte & Gloss, plus 6 other cartridges.Or use the Advanced B&W color controls in the 7900 driver itself allowing the driver to control and manage 'color' ? Perhaps you can do some small test prints on the canvas and which method looks the best. Hopefully someone with more expert experience will chime in.

I have read Rob Sheppards 'Complete Guide To Epson Printing' and he really likes the 'Advanced B&W mode in the printer driver for monotone. It allows you to do tweaks to the sepia tone and supposedly gives greater control of the D max. I imagine using any of the Drivers settings overrides any profiles from other programs (kinda like manual mode on the printer),so I was wondering if anyone had actually used this method and were satisfied? |
