Digital BW, The Print

I've gotten great b&w results with both the standard Epson driver, as well as ICC's created with Roy's Create ICC program.  A little testing is in order either way.  If you start with the standard Epson driver try different paper selections in the driver when you print.  You can send it either RGB or gray scale images.
   
  Color printing with the MIS Pro inks is another matter.  The problem is that the MIS inks are pigment and the stock inks for the 220 are dye. So, again, some testing is in order.  You can try different paper settings as well as using the color controls in the Epson driver.  I make my own profiles, so I don't use the color controls.  You should be able to get good prints without the profiles, however.
   
  BTW, you can use a scanner to make the ICC profiles for Roy's package.  So, if you've got a scanner, it's not a bad way to go.
   
  Good luck.

Tom,

If you'll indulge me with one more OT question... do you use a special profile or ICC with the 
MIS Pro inks and r220, or just the canned Epson driver and paper profiles?

Thanks again,
Chris
