Epson 2200 and B/W

2002-09-29 by flyfishingusa2002

I thought I might share with you the results of my efforts to get a 
decent B/W print from my 2200. I have used the Grey Balancer and 
Monaco to profile and to say that I am pleased with the result is an 
understatement. I have printed out the improved 21 Step grey scale. 
The scale looks perfectly uniform thoughout. I can easily see 
density variation up to the 97% point. The tone is just about dead 
neutral. 
Please bare in mind that I am using the photo black and Heavy Weight 
Matte, I'm waiting delivery of Archival Matte and Matte Black ink.
The scale is better than any I have printed on my 3000 or my last 
1160. I might just sell the both of them!
One point I noticed about the Ultrachrome inks is that they take 
quite a while to "set". I noticed color differences for almost 24 
hrs. 
I know have a dual purpose printer so I'm dead chuffed to say the 
least...
I only wish I could afford a 7600!
