Digital BW, The Print

Quentin,
 I´m using IP5 on a Mac with the 7500.
Monotor calibrated by eyeballs 
PS 7.0: Color setting for greyscale is  Gray Gamma 1.8. 
Files saved as tiff with greyscale profile implemented.

Printer setup in IP5: 
Res: 360, Quality 1440, 
Ink: MIS FS setting !!!, (though I use old Piezo inks in the 
moment)
sheet and inked area checked. 

Ink is: old Piezo ink (sundance)

Color management in IP 5 is: 
System:
printer: ep7500_MIS-FS_Hahn photorag 308 (for EAM as proofs  
and Photo Rag as fine prints)
Bitmap: embedded profile: apply, 
Gray:  same profile as in system.

It works fine for me.
Best
Bernd
