There's no chance that you will get dead neutral grayscales with
the Generations 4 CcMmYK inkset. Not on a 9000 or any other 6
color printer with that droplet size and resolution. Not with the
Epson driver, ImagePrint or any other RIP. There's a limit on the
black generation when no extra grey ink is available and the
droplet size is too coarse for the same task. Metamerism is too
high if compared to quad sets. I've both inksets in 9000s and a
RIP that allows me as much control as ImagePrint and PosterPrint
have.
