Digital BW, The Print

Lawrence,

I am coming to the realization that the 2200 is different, in more ways than 
one, from the 7600/9600, especially since the 7600/9600 custom profiles 
cannot be used on the 2200.  I will dig out my samples printed by Epson for 
all three models to refresh my memory on whether there was a color shift or 
only a reflectivity shift.
