Digital BW, The Print

That printer uses Claria inks like the Epson 1430 (was 1400).  See the
materials that relate to that printer on my pages, starting with Quick
Links -- the first subtitle at http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/ .

Claria ink in the usual Epson color arrangement cannot make good B&W prints
without QuadToneRip -- http://www.quadtonerip.com/html/QTRoverview.html.  I
doubt the 837 is supported.  Whether there is a way to trick QTR into
driving it is beyond me.

If B&W were your only target, there are inksets that can use the Epson
driver and make good B&W prints with that type of printer.  None of these
has been tested and profiled specifically for that printer, however, so
there will be some user work needed to perfect any system I've been
involved with.

Hope this helps.
