In the days when I didn't know better I bought a Epsom 2100 thinking that I would be able to get a neutral B/W print out of the box....OK I was stupid! After experimenting with various setting/paper combinations I got a print that I was quite please with in daylight, but in other lighting conditions (mainly flouresant) I got metamism - magenta cast. I was using Matte Black Ink and Epson Archival Matte Paper. At work we have a Epson 950 and I tried a black only print at 2880dpi. It was fairly neutral and quite pleasing. Unfortunately when I try it on the 2100 I get a very warm print, similar to Agfa Record Rapid (for those people with wet darkroom experience). Nice enough if you like that kind of thing, but I am after neutral! This got me thinking......Probably the simplest way I am going to be able to use the printer for B/W and colour is to print B/W's with black ink only if I can find a neutral black. Does anyone have any thoughts on this, suggestions? Plan B is to invest in the Epson Pro Rip which I understand can print B/W's using both the Black and Light black inks. Could anyone give me any feedback on this? Any help would be appreciated. Martin
