Digital BW, The Print

Harry:

Short answer is that if you want to use the Epson driver to print 
quadtones with your 1160 you will need to be able to apply a single 
curve (lumped/non-partitioned workflow) or a curve set (RGB 
partitioned workflow).  The partitioned workflow converts the 
grayscale image into various shades of CMY thus "tricking" the Epson 
driver into thinking it is printing CMYB.

There are many lower cost image editors that will allow you to apply 
a "canned" curve or curveset other than PS.  I personally use Picture 
Windows Pro ($90) from www.dl-c.com .
