Re: [Digital BW] newbie seeks help for B&W printing with Epson 2200

Hi John:

XP was the OS flavour of the day for windows.

I think metamerism is a characteristic of the ink, but ink, driver,  
and machine are closely related. If you stay with non glossy paper the  
2200 can make you some great prints.

I hear the Epson 2000 was even worse, that was their first try with  
pigmented inks. Maybe you could run the ink used by the 2400 or 3800  
in the 2200, but you'd have to get profiles and you'd definitely be  
using refilleable cartridges.
