Digital BW, The Print

I too have asked Vincent to take another look at Black Only.  The driver
apparently has a provision for 'Greyscale' which would make sense if Epson
wanted to better label black only.  I understand for example that in the US
driver for the 2200 it refers to Black Only whereas in the European driver
for the 2100 the choice is simply Colour or Black.  These terms, I would
expect, confuse a lot of people.  Vincent said that "the option is for
Greyscale and this is just a simple desaturate, i.e. it removes the colours
and converts the file on the fly".  I have asked him if would be so kind to
retest with the new driver and specifically to begin with a greyscale image
from a grey space such as Gray Gamma 2.2 and to print using Same as Source
at 2880ppi.  I think he will respond fairly quickly.
