I've spent some time now creating a curve for PowerRIP that gives me totally neutral BW prints on my 2100, good shadow detail and no metamerism whatsoever. The results are actually so good I'm not sure where to go from here. Maybe some tweaking in the 0-25% area which may or may not be 1-2% too dark. I've been using the Epson Gray Balancer reference chart to make comparisons between the chart and printed wedges while making adjustments. The biggest change I had to make was in the 93-100% area which all printed black. I now get very good separation in that area as well. After making the curve I did a scan of an August Sander photo from a book I got for christmas and made a print with my curve to verify. The print is virtually indistinguishable from the book in both daylight and indoors lightning. If anyone is interested I'm sure I could make the curve available so you have something to play around with if you decide to try the program. I've never actually had the chance to see a really good BW print with any type of inking system so I'm very interested to see how this will compare to the other prints in the upcoming exchange.
