1.  MacWorld is a computer magazine; not a photography
magazine.   They are out of their league when talking about
this topic.

2.  But you CAN get perfectly neutral black and white
prints with the 2200, FOR A GIVEN VIEWING LIGHT.
The 2200's problem isn't neutral black and white; it's
metamerism.   I have no trouble getting neutral black
and white prints with my 2200 as long as I know what
light (incandescent, cold fluorescent, warm
fluorescent, open sky, no sun, or direct sun) I'm going
to be viewing the print under.
