Digital BW, The Print

I disagree that you need custom profiles to produce excellent 
prints with the 2200.  I've been using the Epson 2200 for about a 
week now and I'm thoroughly impressed.  Right out of the box 
using the supplied profiles it's color accuracy is very impressive.  
It prints both color and BW far better than the Epson 1200 with 
Gen 4 inks and Cone/Inkjetmall custom profiles ever did.
I also find the Dmax to be much better than the Gen 4 inks.

Here is my workflow for Photo Rag:

Media Type:  Enhanced Matte
Print Quality: 1440
Color Management:  No Color Adjustment

Source Space:  The profile attached to the image.  I use my 
monitor space Lacie Blue eye (Created with LaCie Blue Eye and 
Software), but Epson recommends Colormatch.

Print Space:  SP2200 VelvetFineArt-MK

The MK stands for Matte Black

I'm interested to know if anybody has a better workflow, and if 
this helps?

I'm not saying that it can produce exhibition quality BW prints with 
this workflow, but I'm not sure a profile could do that.  For this 
we'll have to wait  for IP5.
