Re: Epson GENIUS or maybe not. To Alex

Hi Richard,
Just a few short comments.

I have been printing to the 2000P via Picure Windows 100%.
That is only due to the major year+ long effort to develop
a partitioned workflow for the 2000P that I considered Good.
I developed one, but the consumption of Cyan makes it somewhat 
impractical to use, yet my output does not warrant setting up
a CIS system. In all honesty, the Epson driver is excellent.
Its only fault is it beginning to use K ink at 75%. But, so
does the Cone Piezography driver. With the FSE inkest and Epson 
driver, you will have, in effect, a 'three' ink system : 
K  CMY  ClMlY .

When I commented about mixing chips, I was referring to
not discriminating between the K and Color 2000P. The
software will still let you use other carts. I tried
a set of Lyson SmallGamut inks that had 1270 chips.

I would use GreyScale mode.

Best,
Alex
