Re: I'll try...

Your experience sounds like my first futile attempt at BW printing
with MS VM and Lysonic Quad inks a year ago ( I gave up ). I have a
currently unstalled MIS Hex FS-e CIS system ready for test.  I am
wondering if it might not be beneficial to leave the pix in RGB and
print from that. The inkset will do the conversion and you may then
try shifting the color tone of the image to attempt to remove some of
the flats in the density spectrum ??  I am not expertised at this
either but am considering the same idea if my BW to BW print is not
optimal. 

I also have eyeball measured the inkset densities by dilution and I
think one of my 6 inks is way too light ( I will redo the set to
confirm ) and will probably mix one closer to my guesstimate of
correctness before I install the system..... I need to pull the Epson colors and measure the differences between their cyan and photocyan, magenta and photomagenta pairs also.
