    Printing in Black & White w/ Spot Color

    Thanks again Steve for your suggestions and comments. So.... I've been checking out the Pixma Pro-100 (8 color dye) printer and comparing to the Pro-10 (10 color pigment) printer. Pro-100 $309 after rebate, Pro-10 $600 after rebate. You seem like a pretty sharp & straight shooting guy ...

    Printing in Black & White w/ Spot Color

    Hi Steve, I ran across this on a Printer Forum. "Canons as a rule use the black cartridge when black is greater than 60% IIRC. Softer greys use a mix of the color cartridges. There is little you can do about this." My printer is not as pro as yours. Mine is an "all in one". It has 5...

    Printing in Black & White w/ Spot Color

    Thank you Steve for your quick reply and suggestions. The results are still the same. The monitor calibration is not an issue. Color photos turn out quite precise... matching what I see on the monitor.When I print in ONLY Black & White... the printer prints a truly deep black (no hue). When I...

    Printing in Black & White w/ Spot Color

    I have PS CS6 and like to do B & W prints. I print them on my Canon MX870 printer (4 color printer) ... they turn out quite nice. VERY Black & White. Recently, I started doing B & W with a small highlight of color... like a photo of my daughter and her friends with just her red shoes in color...
