Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul,

Let me start by thanking you for your work on the UT7 inkset for 
2200. I am coaxing excellent color prints from the 2200. I am on a 
quest to produce excellent b&w from the 2200.  Getting the ut7 ink 
carts to give me a good nozzle check took several cleanings, a 
restart of the printer and a few pages of printing.
I have tried applying the curves you posted for eem in photoshop 7.
The carbon curve is the one I am most interested in. The curve 
knocks the image way out when I load it under the curve adjustment.
The image is rendered barely visible on the monitor, and when it 
prints it looks washed out. I am applying it to an image I have 
converted to monochrome using the channel mixer. It is in 16 bit rgb 
and has been since it left the cameras raw file.
 Just wondering what I am doing wrong since you are getting good 
results with it. When I print from ps7 with my windows computer I go 
to print with preview, Print space profile is "Printer Color 
Management". I then checked ICM in the color management in the epson 
driver. 

Thank you again for your diligence and assistance!

Charlie
