rtf Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hi there, I have a LP7200, works perferct unti I want to print in black and white, sometimes prints go kind of yellow and sometimes they go kind of red, and at the end of the day I end up with sepia/cian/blue/yellow prints. Can anyone help me in how to print true black and white pictures in my minilab? thank you rtachna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterLaser Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Buy used Fr350 with lasers...... Otherwise, I know that Noritsu 35 series had problem with quality and stability due to exposure system. REMEMBER, last real FUJI minilab is Frontier 550/570/590, newer are Noritsu 35 or 37 with different door colors, scanners and upper part of software. It means that MS communicates with Noritsu software which really controls priniting machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob100684 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 do an upkeep print before you print a bunch of black and white.....sometimes you need to do it even on the real fuji made frontiers, In my case, 6" glossy was the master, so the morning upkeep took care of it, 6"matte, 4" and 8" we always calibrated before printing b/w.

Photographis Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 In my (limited) experience, producing a true b/w image on colour paper is a real ballancing act (sic), and excuse me if I am telling you what you allready know. Before you can even contemplate the image, the machine must be ballanced. Start with an rgb image. De-saturate. print, analyse, correct. I usualy find most fall into the same 'group' of corrections, so have produced several correction profiles, but as allways these are just a 'good start'. I.E. one profile is -0.7y, +1.0m, +1.0d, another simply -0.3m. (all applied after de-saturation, so in theory there should be no colour present). But I have found the key is to get the density correct first. Every time I contemplate a batch I wish for a straightforward job, but hey, if it was simple and straightforward we would be without a job! Anyone with more experiance in this field like to help us here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Noritsu Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 We are getting excellent and consistent black and white prints on our Noritsu 3202 by using the following procesure. Ensure master balance/morning set up has been done emulsion balance the paper to be used for the B&W prints set the chroma or color saturation at the minimum (50) use density corrections only, no color corrections at all We get better results on Supra, but Royal and Edge are pretty damn close And it all works well!
