Black and White Prints

[kmh]

I am wondering about the quality of EZ Prints black and white prints and would appreciate hearing if people are happy with the results. Any suggestions would be appreciated also. I have read the tutorials about converting to B&W already. I am currently using the channel mixer to convert and then adjust levels or curves. I have tried lots and lots of differnt places and am considering a custom lab for B&Ws, but I'd rather use EZ Prints if the quality is good. Thanks, Kate

I have seen good and bad bws in the zillions of prints we've done.... it really comes down to your processing - if you can show me some of your files, link me to a gallery, I'm happy to review them and let you know exactly how they'll print :D

I know this is an old thread but I was wondering the same thing. I have a devil of a time getting decent B&W on my r1800 so I thought I'd try EZPrints and then set some up for sale.

So, Andy, any thoughts on how these would fare with EZPrints - and is there any advantage to using TRUE or AUTO-COLOR when printing B&W?

Hi Andy,

I was wondering if you could check my BW and color and tell me if you think I should do true or auto.

Thanks!

I Google'd for the answer to the "auto or true for black and white" question, and found this thread. Is this where we submit photos for a verdict?

Actually, Andy or other hero
If you have a sec to look at the photos in my order #773391, there are some that have bright sun coming in from the background, and I always wonder whether those will trick the Auto mode, and should I use True? Thanks for any info!
