Digital BW, The Print

Did Epson Europe proceed along the same lines of using consultants to 
advise them on this issue?  If so did they come to a different 
recommendation or did Epson ignore their recommendation?  If the 
recommendation concerning the gray balancer S/W package by the European 
group was different - why so?

While it is not unusual for slightly differences for products in 
different parts of the world the difference between the 2100 and the 
2200 is a bit extreme.
