Digital BW, The Print

After multiple head cleanings and finally a Matte Black cart 
change the banding seems to have disappeared.  I believe the 
OPM dependence on black ink simply pushed my cart to its limit.  

Antonis and other IJC pioneers:  I am looking forward to a little 
magenta in that cool profile.  Please let me know when the new 
cool is available.   And thanks again for the generosity of your 
efforts.

I spent the day comparing OPM with IP RIP on my 2200 and have 
found them to be very close.  I like the color of OPM blended 
80/20 warm/cool better than anything I can come up with on 
ImagePrint, but IP has a smoothness in the flesh tones that OPM 
can't match.  At least not without my using the IJC.

With Piezo on my 1160 added to the comparison, that quad 
technology is still the one to beat for b/w.  With the new Cone 
Epson driven inks in mind, I think I'll wait for the 2200 quads 
before buying the IJC.
