Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Frank..... I will soon upload Carl's revision of the cool profile which 
should offer a further improvement over mine. I just wanted to do some 
densitometry with it first (and I have a bit of a time crunch!).

As for the banding... I'll test with my 2200 and if I don't see it, I'll have to 
assume it's an individual printer issue, not a driver issue (even if OPM shows 
it more than other drivers). Did you test with black-only on the Epson driver?
