Re: Epson 2000P B&W setup ( was Epson GENIUS .....)

Hi Alex,

Thanks for all the info and suggestions -- one question, though:

Earlier in this thread Tom had said "... I also believe the 2000P to 
be an excellent black and white (hextone) printer. the introduction 
of MIS' Eboni black ink really improved the shadow areas!!!

...with MIS FSE (Original, Neutral didn't cut it) inks, it is nearly 
plug and play..!"

Are you using one of the two ink-order configurations below and 
getting near "plug and play" results as Tom suggested, or are you 
working with the curve set you described in your previous post which 
sounds like a considerably more complex process?

I don't mind complexity to achieve excellence, but I'm just 
curious ;>) Will try the original and alternate ink orders when they 
arrive sans curves, and move forward from there...

Thanks again,
Richard
