All PP tweaks are in Photoshop, the reason being the advantage of layers. Most (90%) of my printing is using a RIP, Imageprint 10. The other 10% is using the Epson driver (I currently use an Epson R3885, the Asian equivalent of a R3880) from within Photoshop, mainly where profiles are not available in Imageprint Cheers Jayanand On Wed, Apr 5, 2017 at 9:50 AM, Gerry Walden <gerry.walden at icloud.com> wrote: > Jayanand > > Thanks for the explanation of your working methods which certainly > produces very good b&w results.
