I use it to make BW prints without metamerism on my 2100. For that it

works very well. I do get some slight color shifts in the darker parts

of my images on glossy papers, but since the shift stays the same in

all lighting conditions it's easily corrected by a curve. On matte

papers the prints looks neutral wihout any additional curves. It

doesn't use any special printing modes for BW, so you can easily

combine color and BW in the same image and still avoid metamerism. The

dithering is slightly more coarse than with the Epson driver.
