Re: WHEN will we get simple, reliable BW printing??

I've posted a scan twice now - Here and on the photo.net forum. The

I've also tried GIMP-print and i get the exact same brown output there.

The results from the recent technical print exchange should be back

of the different available print-methods based on side-by-side
comparisons of actual prints - Including PowerRIP and ImagePrint with
the 2200.
