How GOOD is your B&W Printing in Full Colour Mode ?

[Emulator]

Now that the topic of the thread has been changed to B/W printing, I will recommend this thread. It covers many B/W printing problems.

It should be B&W printing in full colour mode.

There’s no pleasing you is there …

Sorry @turbguy, but I reckon it’s overcooked by a Wyoming mile ! IMHO..

To quote the Virginian from Medicine Bow..."When you call me that, smile"!

Plugged in my old R285 with 6 shades of gray (custom made from fuji drylab ink),
made a print after 3 weeks of idle (expecting cleaning cycles) and scanned it on a canon mp810 (which has an option for WB in the menu)

But then .. while searching for banding issues .. I found someone looking from above ..

.. turbguys shadow .. god .. or just my imagination..?

The original file was a 48 bit TIFF, so banding should be really difficult to observe...

That was very well spotted. The face looks angry, and I can understand that. I would be too if all MY greens turned White!!

It is a remarkable representation of a face.

I see no banding or anything else untoward.

Looking at post#9 the scanned image does not look quite so green tinted as it originally did.
I've noticed this before in posted images. It seems as if there is a settling down process of adjustment by the system?
