[Digital BW] Re: Staples has Epson 2000 refurbs for $199.00

it DOES make a nice machine for B&W with the MIS FSE five greys and
Generations 4 Black.

I have spent many hours tweaking a curve to optimize these inks with 
my 2000P. It is a  PictureWindows Tint curve. You also need, as I just 
found out, to test the Cyan and Magenta nozzle sets and select the one 
with the least microbanding - if any, and then install the inks 
accordingly. If anyone wishes to try, here is the Tint curve for the 
Cyan set. Install the greys as in my previous posting...

There is nearly an hour of effort for every ascii character. And maybe 
a few tweaks still left, but it works pretty well. Perhaps a team 
effort can finish it.......  It will print a 100 step greyscale 
without reversals and with visible gradients in each.
