I'd like to hear comments from any of you using PFP 2.0 to profile  
black and white printers.

My biggest headache with digital printing of black and white images  
is the tendency for very dark tones to look posterized (paint-by- 
numbers look) instead of showing subtle gradations.  This is  
especially problematic with matte papers.

I am now using MIS UT3D inks on an Epson 2200, and trying to generate  
profiles for Epson EM, Moaba's Kayenta, Breathing Colour's Sterling  
Rag, and Kirkland glossy. So far nothing looks as good as the simple  
EZ system MIS sells for the Epson C86 (which just lets the printer  
think it is printing colour), or the HP system that had a special  
black cartridge for printing B&W images.

I haven't begun experimenting with PFP 2.0's adjustments yet. If you  
have experimented, can you give me any direction?

I've been printing "silver" for thirty some years, so my expectations  
and strategies are suitably skewed.
