I certainly see loss of shadow detail in Epson B&W as well; but when I 
profile with PFP2, and use appropriate shadow detail settings, I don't. So thats not 
as much a matter of whats possible as what the default gets you.

The question to me is what is actually unattainable via OEM inks and drivers, 
not what you don't get at defaults; after all defaults with a lot of RIPs 
won't get you what you want either, its a matter of the best from one and the 
best from the other.
