Digital BW, The Print

I have seen Daniel's evolving use of the 2100 (2200) printer, and I 
must say he has pioneered the best use of these printers for b/w.  I 
have seen some good prints on 2200s and OEM inks with a number of 
RIPs, but Daniel's method is the best I have seen so far.  There is 
no metamerism because no color inks are used (well other than the 
tonal modification of UT or VM).  He also uses diluted ink for the 
light gray position, so there is no longer an issue with highlight 
dots.  If I has a 2200 printer, his is the method I would choose.  
But I am waiting for UT-FS inks before I go the 2200 way.  I 
understand the 2200 is much faster than the 1280, hence my interest.

Regards.
