Book Design and Imaging
BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY PRINTINGI am interested in sharing some ideas with folks about their experiences in printing photographs in black and white on blurb. I am a professional who has left the world of offset printing and into the Indigo5000. I have a test book in which I will post my findings when I receive. I have the Indigo5000 printer description profile which I have tried against several other color profiles and black and white greyscale settings. Chdant

I initially (last summer) had real problems with color cast on B&W but all is fine now with the HP press (Indigo I think). I did do a test with 3 different “darknesses” of several images and found as expected that the press print was darker than the inkjet tests, so for the real book I adjusted all of the images to the values of the lighter test and am very happy. This is of course not offset quality, but quite nice. Scott |
