Re: [Digital BW] Epson R800 as successor of the 2200/2100 for B&W?

2004-02-19 by Carl Schofield

It sure sounds like Epson is doing something different with this R800 
driver (compared to the 2200) when black ink is specified in the driver 
setting.  It would be very interesting to see a high resolution scan of 
a step wedge printed with the driver set to "Black" ink.
