Digital BW, The Print

Hi Alan,

I use the BO method as well and I'm somewhat pleased with the 
results. I use an Epson 2200 and I'm noticing that my prints look 
too brown.

Would it be safe to use one of the MIS black inks in my printer when 
doing BO?  For color, I imagine I would need to put the Epson Matte 
Black back into the machine or the printer profiles would not work 
properly. Correct? Does anyone see a risk in trying this?

Anyone out there doing BO printing with a 2200 with an ink other 
than the epson black matte?
Thanks,
David
