Digital BW, The Print

I use PS7, Windows and Epson 3000 w/ MIS quadtones. Tried a BO and 
was amazed at the richness and smoother transtions. However, details 
in the shadows are lost and the overall print is darker.Is a 3000 
perhaps not the right printer to do BO? I'd appreciate any info from 
those who still print on the antique 3000. Many thanks, Arlene
