Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul,

Then someone who is contemplating using BO printing with the Epson 
PRO 4000 would probably do well to just stay with the UC matte black 
instead of replacing it with the Eboni Black ??  I do remember when 
I had my 2200, the Eboni gave me better results and I used it for 
all my B&W printing.  But maybe not the case with the 4000 ??

Thanks,

Tony Bonanno
