I thought I had this problem solved but no…

I work exclusively in B&W photographs and tone them brown. Toning is the last step before printing so that image manipulation does not alter the color.

I use a solid color fill layer with the mode set to color.

I don’t see a way to post images here but I can tell you I have a sample image each side of which is from a different photograph toned in exactly the same way, yet they are very different brown tones.

There must be some way to color a B&W photograph and get exactly the same color from the same printer every time.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as this problem is wasting a great deal of time ink and paper.

TIA

That method is still dependent on the original colour so will change each time, try using a ‘hue/saturation’ layer and click on ‘colorize’. If you need to use a spot colour, make a greyscale and apply the spot colour in InDesign.
