Digital BW, The Print

>> Try the Epson driver. You might try one where the printer controls the color
handling. Try Color Controls with gamma 2.2. Use the highest quality printing
options.

I am a bit befuddled by this. The printer has no way of knowing it has
grayscale instead of color inks in it. Isn't it just going to print
according to the colors in the image instead of the gray tones?

How do I get it to make best use of the grays? And since I have duplicate
inks in the Cyan and Light Cyan channels, do those inks just sit there
unused? Are there no profiles for this printer and ink setup, or even
something likely to be in the ballpark?

I have run a couple of test prints on Arches Hot Press and the blacks are
decidedly gray and muddy. Any indications on how to proceed would be greatly
appreciated.
