Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Brian.
  Perhaps Clayton can help me out here since he has done so much work
on the 200 with BO and I think also prints on a 2400. 
  I wonder if anyone ever tried Eboni Black in the 2400......
  I am still in a bit of shock regarding how darn good the prints look
from the 220 BO. It's pretty astounding. I sure hope it doesn't come
to me buying a 2200 for large BO prints (!) I'm hoping Clayton will
know what I can tweak in my 2400 drivers to at least approximate the
lovely look of BO/220.
 Thanks
  Howard
