Re: [Digital BW] Studio lighting - Neutral B&W on 2100 (2200)

Hi David,

AFAIK the only way to get truly metamerism free output from the Epson 2200/2100 and UC inks is through the use of a RIP such as ImagePrint. I've heard the Gray Balancer, shipped with the 2100, will sorta, kinda work, but it's a pain. Haven't used GB, myself as I have IP.
