Digital BW, The Print

I assume that you are talking about Black Only mode. The print is
done with the K ink (not diluted) only. 

Since the 1400 (and some other
printers from Epson) is equiped with heads able to give 1.5pl mini of
ink, even the Black Only mode gives a relatively smooth print, because
the dots are really tiny. So this is true: Fine Art is possible even in
BO mode. 

By the way, smoothness might not be mandatory in all cases.
Since BO mode gives more neutral tones than diluted inks, BO mode is a
good configuration for some subjects.

this when the 1400 first came out. Perhaps he'll jump in here. I seem to
recall the success of this technique varied somewhat with the particular
1400 being used, ie there was some variance from one 1400 to another.

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 [1]
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?
