Jerry, thanks for your suggestions in such a timely manner. The only question that I would like to ask again is why it seems that very few, if anyone, print b&w photos using the 6 color inkset. Out of close to 100 different images printed within the last 2 weeks on the 1280, only 4 had a bit of a crosscurve of magenta in the highlights with green in the shadow, on somerset enhanced paper. There was no problem on the LPM or EAM. I would like to try the longer lasting inks (MIS). If I could even come close to how the prints look like with the epson dyes, I would be happy. Among the color prints that I do, they are from Polaroid Image Transfers of b&w imagery that is filtered, ending up in a sepia overall tone with hints of dark green in the shadows with a slightly salmon color in the highlights. They have a beautiful tonal range, but the biggest size I can do as originals is 8x10 polaroid film, the 13x19 enlargements of these images look 3D, and really beautiful, especially on the somerset enhanced textured paper, as the originals are on Arches paper. I would love to hear about some folks personal experiences printing b&w images with the MIS color inkset. I would guess that there would be the occasional crosscurve on some papers, but probably corrected on a different paper. Thanks again to all. David
