From what I've read in the various forums the Epson RIP produces a 
warm B&W print as it seems to only use the black and light black 
inks. There are also no toning options as far I can see from the 
various postings. The Ultratones will probably be the way for me when 
MIS bring out the virgin 2100 carts. I'd prefer a system with B&W 
from the colour inks, though, as I do a fair amount of colour as well.

As I said, the metamerism with the PermaJet is remarkably small and 
combined with the smoothness of the Epson dither (at 1440) is proving 
the best for me at the moment. But I know it could be better - and 
when you know that, you are never satisfied.
