Paul -

Thanks for the reply.  I have a few quick follow-up questions if you have a
minute:

>>The experimental quad I've mixed with the Epson Archival pigment uses no
color dyes or color pigments, is dead neutral from 45%-55%, and about 0.01
unit warm outside that range (plus or minus 0.01 unit depending on other
random factors).  It seemed to run very well on my 1160.<<

So is this experimental quad for your 1160 made of the your special brew for
black and then three normal VM or VM-S pigments in the other
carts/positions?  If so, do you just use your standard VM or VM-S curves for
printing?  Does it allow you to print on surfaces other than matte (glossy,
semi matte)?

>> I think it's time to open up easy glossy printing to B&W.<<

Amen to that!

Thanks,
Doug
