Martin, 

I did that same thing once using the Epson dyes in my 7000. I 
think I just printed one out as a "quick proof", with the Epson 
driver set to "Black Only", but at 1440. I certainly didn't expect too 
much from the print; I was just looking at some of the details; not 
really going for a "final print". But I too was shocked at how good 
it was, and also how neutral. There's a certain look of perfect 
neutrality, and when you see it, you know it. The black-only nailed 
it. It made me want to pursue getting more richness out of it; that 
might have been the only thing lacking. -Mark Tucker
