1400/1430 w. 1 black for B&W?

2013-05-29 by Michael

This has probably been discussed and I've missed it. Nevertheless, today I stumbled across a website that suggests that by following certain settings on the 1400/1430 one can achieve very good B&W with just one black pigment ink. They claim smooth tones (thus no graininess) that rival ABW settings. What's up with that? Here's a link to their site: http://www.photosnowdonia.co.uk/ZPS/epson1400-B&W.htm It really doesn't make any sense that it would work for fine art work, so please, has anyone reported on this? Do I hear Clayton coming down the hall?
