A friend of mine prints from his own extensive collection of historical railway negatives black and white as well as colour prints to sell at flea markets and the like.
His Windows XP machine died a while back and is only for scanning of negatives and printing decided he should join the Mac World. Purchased a basic Mac mini and transferred all of his numerous files 9many of which were using Corel as the basis for storage to two 500 gig
hard drives. His actual collection is stored in four four drawer vertical file cabinets. If a client wishes a print he pulls it from the file, scans it on the Epson 750 flatbed scanner and then prints it using the save function on the computer. Once scanned it is filed with other such negatives on the computer hard drive. BTW most of the negatives are long gone sizes i.e. 116, 122, 120 3.25 x 4.25 as well as the generic 4x5,5x7 and 8x10 negatives as well. He also has a selection of glass plate negatives.
The problem after transferring from the Corel system to standard jpegs and transferring drive content and the like is one of printing. Images on his monitor
which are black and white print as expected reproduce in black and white
However colour negatives appear on screen as colour positives, however they print black and white.
My friend’s XP system was set up years ago by a good friend. The owner of the collection is at best computer dumb. Push this button or that and it works. if it doesn’t he is stymied. BTW he does not have internet connections, for various reasons.
So my question is, where to look. Did the colour change transferring images from Corel to jpegs on the Mac? Or is there something on the setup on the printer.
He is using an Epson 2880 printer, three years old from new; and has not had any problems, except this particular problem. Latest Epson based software was downloaded here at my place from the internet, however never did try to print colour from here…
Suggestions or thoughts?
