Digital BW, The Print

Yes, thanks for correcting my response.  I should have said a "good RIP"
that runs the light black up the scale can help metamerism.  I have no
experience with the Epson RIP.

Unfortunately this may be the one and only RIP that will not let you
do that, unless it's been substantially upgraded recently. It's an RGB
RIP and will not let you control K, really all it does is let you
print postscript, essentailly behaving exactly like the Epson driver
in all other respects. It was made available for proofing on Epsons
from page layout programs or others requiring postscript rendering,
EPS, fonts, etc.
Everything sent to it, including CMYK, will be converted back to RGB
and a new K will be generated similar, if not identical, to the Epson
driver's K generation.
It was always too big, too buggy, and too slow, too featureless. Of
course you are correct about RIPs, but unless Epson Stylus RIP has
been substantially updated don't get your hopes up for this one.
