Update on Harman Gloss on the Z3100 ...

I just profiled the paper and made a print. I set the profile for heavyweight paper to guard against and roller impressions. The print is lovely. I am very impressed with the richness of the blacks and the tonal range of the paper. I may be losing a few of the highlights in the model's hair but that is it and I think I can adjust for it. There is no bronzing, no metamerism and no gloss differential. I printed with the Gloss Enhancer on.

That's a really nice image Ted. I take it the Z3100 is a color printer?

Ted,

Try it with the gloss enhancer off. I am getting perfect prints on the Epson 3800 in ABW mode. (Even better than with Imageprint.) I decided that the slight green tint in the paper is not a problem as long as you keep any bright white or warm paper off the same table with the Harman prints.:-)

Hi Joe,

Thanks. A lot of credit to a superb model too. As for the printer. The HP Z3100, like all of the modern wide format photo printers from HP, Canon and Epson, is a color printer. In this instance, a 12 ink printer. Of course, you can dedicate a printer to printing black and white only using something like the Cone inks. I don;t find that to be necessary when running a printer with a sophisticated RIP that allows you to print with the black inks only (as the Z3100 ps does). The print I am discussing was printed with the black inks only.

Ed what does this mean. In what way are the Epson ABW prints better? With ImagePrint are you using this profile for the Harman Gloss?? Just curious.
