Howdy Gregg and Mike, Been a while since I have been here. Hello forum.
I am having difficulties with my black and white conversions. I am not happy with my results. They turn out either flat or gray instead of b/w. My prints are only "ok". I was having some banding issues but I stumbled into fixing that even though I am not sure what I did except bump the heck out of saturation before attempting the conversion.
I am still in CS3 and plan on staying there for another version. My files are going through my Onyx RIP, not printed through CS, and all my profiles and papers are correct and profiled for b/w. It is not a color management issue that I can tell.
Do you guys have some magic tricks using Curvemeister that may ease my pain? I am simply working too hard to achieve final prints that I am sending out the door solely because I have to, not because I am pleased with the final print. I have been working in color so long that I feel blind in Black and White.
