Digital BW, The Print

Hi;

You can't do BO with the Epson driver AFAIK, but some of us have 
been using QTR with the R1800 with good results. BO with the Epson 
inks is warm-toned, but with Eboni its fairly neutral. I've been 
using MIS' K4 inks with it, with Eboni and Photo Black in the normal 
slots, LK in the gloss optimizer slot, and LLK in the red slot. 
adjusting the tone to neutral works with the blue and cyan, and 
going sepia works with the magenta and yellow. It takes a bit more 
effort to figure out how to do the curves, but you can do a pretty 
fair job without a densitometer.Too bad there aren't more 'canned' 
curves for that printer, it got bypassed in the stampede to the 
2400. A shame, because having both glossy papers and matte available 
with out switching is very convenient.
