I have run into a small problem with producing black/white prints from my inkjet printer, a Canon i9950 (same as i9900) when printing from scans of older family photographs.
The scans are converted to grayscale in photoshop so there is no suggestion of color shifts with the image, and when printed the results, while not *exactly* neutral gray, are pretty close, bearing in mind the printer is printing in three colors, but I have a client who considers that the slightest shift from absolute neutral is unacceptable.
Short of going to a quad-black or equivalent printing system, I consider the prints to be pretty good.
So, the question is, for those who do b/w prints from inkjets, how close to neutral is close enough, and has anyone run into this objection from a client, or even a family member?
