Can you give some more info on PowerRIP, please ?  

I found the website.  Looks like you can download a demo with a
watermark (ala. Vuescan) and then buy it for $289 or so.

How exactly does it address the "B&W printing on the 2200" issue ?

Did I hear that it allows use of the 2 black ink cartridges (including
the "Light Black") ?  And this looks somewhat sepia-toned, right ?

Does it allow 7-color B&W prints with less metamerism than the stock
Epson driver ?

Thanks, John
