Digital BW, The Print

I'm glad that you are trying to get Epson and Colorbyte together on a
bundle deal, given your direct participation in stiffing North America
with Gray Balancer. I frankly think Epson owes NA 2200 customers some
compensation for removing that and the CD printing feature. If it's good
enough to market in Europe, then it should be good enough to market
here.
 
One thing that puts me off re: Colorbyte. It appears that in order to
obtain upgrades past 90 days from purchase one has to buy an annual
maintenance contract @ $495 per year. That is absurd. Is this contract
necessary to get the "free" profiling service?

All I can tell you is we used the supplied CANNED profile to print B&W
images 
and the output was spot on! 

The software ships with targets for producing color and B&W profiles.
You 
print and send to ColorByte and they email back a profile (for free!).
There is 
also a bunch of profiles they keep on their website. 

Look, I'm all for custom profiles. But at least in the case of the 9600
and the 
tests we did, the supplied profiles were nothing short of perfect. 

There is a possiblity that the product used to make profiles from
ColorByte will 
itself be avaiable for sale. Until then, stick with the supplied
profiles and just 
make great prints.
