Re: [Digital BW] looking for suggestions on dealing with metamerism

You can get very very good (is that great?) B&W prints and colour at the
same time with the Epson UC inks.  If you run a Mac try Roy Harrington¹s QTR
for B&W before plonking down additional money for a RIP or another printer
to dedicate for B&W.  I certainly recommend this as a starting point.  The
difference between this and the Epson driver out of the box is simply
amazing.  It may not be the ABSOLUTE BEST.  For that I would agree there is
likely some additional benefit to quad inks.  (How much?) BUT for the novice
who has a limited budget or space or is simply coming up the learning curve
on this stuff I would strongly recommend maximising results with your
existing equipment (and a nominal donation to Roy) before you start spending
a lot more money.  You will likely be pleasantly surprised at the results.

Where did the idea that 699.00 gets you great black and white prints and
color no fuss no muss come from.
