[Digital BW] Re: Switching between b/w and color??

2003-11-27 by flyfishingusa2002

What's wrong with the 2200? I get great B/W prints using QTR (free) 
using my Mac. I get great colour from it from either my PC system or 
the MAC. 
The extra black on the new epsons is only so that ink is not wasted 
on a cart change. something that I hardly ever do since I stick to 
matt papers. Why glossy? good prints should go under glass where 
glossy is not needed. Glossy is fine for small prints to give away, 
but hardly necessary for display.
