Digital BW, The Print

I was shocked when I read the Luminous Landscape review!  Maybe that's why my 
b+w sample from the 2200 suffers from magenta/green metamerism.  I realize 
now that when people talk about metamerism being eliminated from these new 
Epsons, they are talking about color prints.  I, too, cannot see any 
metamerism in color output and the color output is beautiful.

And, Reichmann is retiring Piezo!  My sample comes nowhere near Piezo 
quality.  But, perhaps, he is a better printer than the Epson folks who are 
giving out these samples to try to sell the printers.  I don't know if I can 
trust someone who has re-done his online site in one of the most garish color 
combinations I have ever seen.
