Another excellent image. I recently got an RIP to print "true" B&W on my Epson printer... I've never been really satisfied with the prints before. Epson's own print driver sucks for B&W. I have been wanting to do some quality B&W for a long time. When I do I will share them with you.

I have the Epson Stylus Pro 4000... it is a 17" inch wide carriage. But it pretty much does not matter which Epson you have because I think all the Epson printer drivers have a poor reputation for printing B&W. That is why you need an RIP.

The new 2400 is suppose to be amazing. My 2200 does an alright job, but could be a lot better.

Have you ever tried the B&W paper from Mpix? I'm curious to how it looks.

This really is excellent work by a true professional. I personally think these kind of shots really illustrate the difference in film and digital. Especially medium format and larger film.

It's definitely different, isn't it :)

I have not. I looked on their site and it looks to me like they use Kodak and Illford papers for their orders. I have some Kodak profiles but don't think I have for the Kodak paper Mpix uses.

That works really well in black and white - really shows off the wonderful tonal range and detail.

Stunning photos.

As for the printer question, a friend of mine has the Epson R2400 and it works like a champ.

Beautiful shots!

Glacier point in Alaska? I didn't see that part of it, but I thought it was the most beautiful, most isolated place I ever visited!
