Digital BW, The Print

I suspect it is not possible, that is their B&W capability (neutral, tinting
etc) is a mere side effect of a good colour driver.  I guess it could be
constrained somehow (as opposed to stripped down) but then that¹s extra
development dollars.  Mac users don¹t really need it.  And for PC users I
suspect its price is better spent on another printer with dedicated inks eg
UT7 using the Epson driver thanks to Mr Roark.  (BTW, in the UK it costs
more than another 2100.)  I tested it for my colour work (2100) but could
not see that it made any improvement on a well-calibrated printer.  If I
bought a professional-grade printer I would expect the Epson driver to be
even better (and better supported).  To be frank, I am puzzled as to how IP
survives given their lifeblood must be professional (wide-format) colour
printing.  But then that is not a topic for this forum.  :-)

That's certainly true.  As far as I know they don't make a b&w only product.
A b&w IP version probably wouldn't make any business sense.  However, It
would be interesting to find out how much people would 'willingly' pay for a
stripped down, b&w only version.
