Digital BW, The Print

Mark,

yeah.... I am there! I got the 2200 and already put some PRag through and 
now looking at profiling. What worked for you? Did you brew your own or do 
you have a favorite source for profiles?

The main problem with the 2200 out of the box is that when you print a straight 
grayscale converted to bw, no matter what you do in the color managment, the 
90-100% dives hopelessly into black. Otherwise, it prints the best grayscale of 
any "out of the box" Epson or, for that matter, the Gen4/1270 with ConeTech 
profiles. I am sure toning would mask the few slight deviations.

Have you tried ImagePrint with the 9600?

Thanks very much for sharing the details of your workflow. As a token of 
appreciation, here is a big jar of Mylanta...  and careful next time! 
(great image, though - more nightmares like this please).
