Re: [Digital BW] Epson R800 & 1800

2005-02-16 by Steve Kale

Well I can only speak for the Mac 2100 driver but:

1.  Inconsistent "Black" only ink use (when PK is installed it uses all the
inks but when MK is installed it uses just the black ink - the 2200 driver
uses just the black ink in both cases)

2.  Swapping K cartridges from PK to MK still requires a workaround

3.  The "Standard" driver does not centre images even when centred is
checked

Those who own an R800 might like the option of a true "black only" setting.
I really don't think that the Epson Tech guys understand the level of demand
for Black Only printing, nor do I think they have even tested the current
2100 drivers properly.  When I called them they didn't even have access to a
2100 to do their own tests!
