I've tried BO printing today with an Epson 1160 and UT Eboni blacks. 
The first image used was a lakeshore. While I like the tones, the 
dots were too apparent, for my taste, in the sky and water. Made two 
other prints from different images and got just about the same 
results. It may work with an image without sky or water area.

Probably with an Epson 1280 or an 2200 at 2880 dpi things might 
different, but I can't say that I would recommend BO printing with an 
Epson 1160.

To end on a positive note, I visited Clayton's site and read (even 
printed) his BO printing workflow. There is lots to be learned there, 
especially about "back" and "front" end profiles. Things are now a 
lot clearer now. Thanks Clayton.

Cheers,
