Digital BW, The Print

Andrew,
 
You and I are in 110% agreement on your first point. The one consistent
behavior I've noticed out of Epson is that they will do every sneaky
underhanded thing they can do to ensure that you have to use their ink,
waste as much of it as possible, and charge 20 prices for it. Examples
are the chipped carts, the $115 photo to matte black ink switches
(totally unnecessary to design the 7600/9600 this way except to rip off
the customer), etc.  I dislike the company and hope that either
competition improves or the consumer protection authorities here and
abroad jerk a big knot in their collective butt. So, I would not be at
all surprised if the "no color adjustment" approach was designed
specifically to waste ink.
 
 
Lloyd

Well Ink does hit the paper... It's certainly not hitting as good as it
could or 
should. Want to see just what the driver really does? Send a file out
using "No 
Color Adjustment." That's how all the Epson profiles are based (on that
driver 
behavior). It's god awful. I sometimes wonder if some color scientist
tested the 
method in which the most ink would be wasted in order to drive the
printer in 
this fashion.
