What is the ABW setting? Advanced black and white or something? As far as I know the 2200 doesn't have such a setting at all.

Better is such a loose term. The newer printers give you better results with the ABW setting than the 2200. However, if silver prints are your goal youmay be better off going with a film negative made with an LVT. Not allproviders of LVT will or can go up to anything bigger than 8x10. Some of itdepends on the paper that you chose and whether a contact neg is a goodchoice. You also need to learn how much sharpening to add to your film to make it look right, etc. It is not just a slam dunk thing where you provide a file and it is perfect first time around. You may want to create a file with 4 4x5 on a single 8x10 layout and see what adjustments work best. ONLY deal with a lab that can tell you what your RGB # will translate to in real density to your negative. And just like with shooting and exposing you canget absolutely perfect target numbers but they will be really close.

(the 8x10 enlarger is broken right now.) My ink jet printer is an Epson 2200, but I have access to a 2400. In the past my efforts to make digital negatives didn't work out very well, but maybe I can try again. My process is silver. :-) (Although in the past I did do those other processes you mention.) My paper scale is 1.2. So, you are saying that it is better to make a negative for enlarging than one for contact printing if possible? --shannon ere.======================================================================= ====================================== To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
