Digital BW, The Print

actually, it seems to be moving backward... I've just found out that probably after installing the latest version that I cannot change inks to anything other than epson intended or go monochromatic on 3800, which was always possible. I can still do that on all other x800 printers... funny like that. just to annoy me further, my local dealer is an incompetent idiot who doesn't even bother to answer my questions and their central doesn't speak to people directly and tells me to speak to my local dealer... ehh.

but other than that yeah, it's a great tool. seriously.

It's undoubtedly the single most utilized tool I have when it comes to doing things with ink, whether OEM or Jon's sets, and pushing the abilities of ink on paper. Other than the particulars of custom partitioning curves for  a multi part channel, like Jon does with QTR, there is not a single thing I have wanted to do that could not be worked out somehow between it's control and Photoshop channels.
