Yes, one of  the things you've "missed" is quite a revolution during
the past year in the ability to print B&W (using the 2100/2200)
without metamerism and at very low cost. Specifically, check out Roy
Harrington's "QuadToneRIP" software ($50 shareware) at:
http://harrington.com/QuadToneRIP.html
 
Use of this RIP ("QTRIP") has been quite extensively discussed in this
group. It can be used to print excellent B&W (virtually
metamerism-free) using the oem Epson Ultrachrome color inks as well as
using special quad inks such as from MIS/UT.
