Digital BW, The Print

I haven't been following this thread closely but for those with magenta 
problems perhaps this link will be usefull.

if it's been put forth I apologize.

Also, black only printing (is there a reason you can't come up with a 
better acronym? <g>)... Black only on my 2200 using matte black 
produces a lovely warm warm print only much to dotty for my tastes, 
however I love the tone and find it similar to piezo carbon sepia.  I 
agree that the black only prints from this printer are far superior to 
those from older models, EX, 1160, 1200, and 2000P that I use. But, 
still not smooth enough for most of my images.

I can achieve a fairly nuetral print without RIP, and so far without 
profiles (which are to come) by using Carl's method, throwing all that 
I know about color management and all that I've used for years out the 
window, I print using Printer management and Photo realistic. The BW 
prints are very nice.  Yes, metamerism, Yes, a bit of a color crossover 
in effect, but nice.

As far as comparisons of my 2200 to my 2000P... well, if you want to 
see what unacceptable metamerism is, stick the output of those beasts 
side by side...

Still, I'll stick with Piezo for most BW output.
