Digital BW, The Print

Antonius,
I am using the "neutral" profile,  that I believe you placed in the 
files, with EEM on the 2200, Ultrachrome +matteblack.  And it 
happens to a lesser extent with other profiles, not with Sepia tho.
I can't afford IJC just yet.
Thought I had the latest version but will check again. It is a bit 
"buggy".
Have you tried the neutral with subtle shadings? I like the "color".
Any help would be appreciated.
Antara
