Digital BW, The Print

In my post I described the method as giving the best results so far 
using OEM inks without a RIP, and I still think that's true. A 
comparison to RIP results is apples to oranges. The 2200 by itself 
with OEM (UltraChrome)inks is not real good for BW printing. I 
think this method brings out the best BW that an all "stock" 2200 
setup can give. To get better results one has to go to third party 
specialized BW inks and/or a RIP. A big part of the problem is with 
the OEM inks and their associated metameristic properties.

I'm curious to see if metamerism and color shifts will still be as 
big a problem when Epson "clear-coats" the print in the soon to be 
released R800.
