Digital BW, The Print

Clayton--

Thanks!  Your website has been an invaluable resource.  I'm glad to 
hear the problem is with the ink--I had just wanted to make sure it 
was something changeable before I decided to keep the printer.

Interestingly, in Paint Shop Pro, I've discovered that when working in 
'proof' mode, *any* image will have a blue-ish cast to it.  Could this 
be a problem with the r220's stock ICC profile?  I am planning to get 
the MIS color inks w/ Eboni black, but I'd like to be able to use 
these inks for at least color-neutral prints, since I have opened 
them...


Thanks again,
m
