Digital BW, The Print

Andre,

I'm assuming that you are using a workflow with one of the older quad ink
sets?  You might want to  consider trying the new MIS Ultra-quad inkset with
photo black with these papers.  This ink set doesn't require spraying of the
RC papers.  I've been using a 2200 with Imageprint with Brightcube
Semi-Matte, Ilford Gallerie Smooth Pearl, Generations Pro Photo Lustre and
Epson Professional Glossy all with good success (Colorbyte has made custom
profiles for all of these for both color and BW with the 2200).  To get
better results in hilights and shadows and broading toning options I'm
switching my 1280 over to the Ultra-Quads (MIS VM 4.3 that Paul Roark has
developed), driving it with the new Ink Jet Control software.  This will
allow me to make precisely tuned custom profiles for the papers and this ink
set.

Robert

PS  If you are looking for an glossy air-dried silver print look the Epson
Pro Glossy is as close as it gets at the moment.
