Digital BW, The Print

Lawrence,

You know there is one option that does not get discussed much. This 
the FS-E inks from MIS. These inks can be used with the Epson driver, 
which will give you deeper blacks than Pizeography right off the bat. 
A very simple curve in grayscale is used to linearize the image, and 
viola!

I have been using a similar approach using FS inks, by switching ink 
positions. It is outlined in the FS pages of inkjetgoodies.com (I 
have no ties of any sort). But, I am sure the FS-E inks are equally 
capable.

Good luck.
