* Subject: [Digital BW] Septone Greyscale?
* 
* 
* Hi,
* I have a friend who is unable to calibrate his Epson 2000 
* printer to print with accurate colour and was wondering about 
* the possibility of converting it to greyscale inks. If it 
* could be done, the results would be amazing.
* 
* But I haven't found anything at MIS about a septone greyscale 
* inkset for such printers. (Although the various makes of CIS 
* support that printer - I presume they are colour inks in the 
* other five positions.) 
* 
* Has any company come with a septone greycsale set for this printer??

Richard,

If you mean the Epson 2200 which has 7-ink positions the answer is yes. The
inks and software are called Septone. They are available from
www.bwguys.com. They use a single black and dual sets of grayscale inks of
different hues (one cool and one warm) and allow you to blend them in your
print in a manner not possible with any other system. I have seen samples
from a 2200 and a 7600. Very impressive. About the best B&W inkjet prints I
have seen.

If you do mean the Epson 2000P then the answer is no since it is a six ink
printer.
