Green tinge

[PaulC 2]

I've just seen a set of prints of some black and white shots that seem to have a greenish tinge to them instead of being true black and white.

I did the conversion to b&w using cs3 and everything looks good on the monitor (which is calibrated using huey pro). The shots were then taken by the person I did the conversion for to Asda for processing.

The only other set of b&w prints I have had done was by photobox,these also seemed to have this green tinge to them.

The colour shots all appear to be fine.

Any ideas anybody?

Thanks

The printer could be working to a different colour profile .In these days of the customer being right I would request they have another go at doing them.

I have this problem if I print at home but I've had some prints done by ColorWorld Imaging and they've been fine. I would suggest you get in touch with the printers and ask if they colour corrected the prints?

I had the same issue with a black and white shot whiich was printed in a recent Leeds Guide - the Armouries shot for the wekend comp a few weeks back. It printed up decidedly with a green tint and on that occasion they admitted there had been limited colour correction used.

Hi! thanks for the replies, so it looks like a problem with the people doing to the processing then. I have seen one of my shots done on a home printer which came out fine.

Also a problem when one of the inks run out
