Digital BW, The Print

Mike I am also using the UT2 inks in an Epson 1280.  I tried the 
grayscale first and really had to boost my contrast.  I then used 
the Rourke workflows with the grayscale image converted to RGB.  I 
found these results to be much better.  Also on glossy paper 
printing at 2880 also gave a significant improvement in transition 
regions. I am not an expert, just my experience.  By the way I am 
still using the QPK black for glossy.  I will try the eboni black on 
glossy when I run out.
