Huh? What do you mean by quadtoning? Quadtone prints use four different
shades of gray or black, not the standard Epson inks.

The latest Epson profiles are very good at B&W, albeit not perfect. If
you're seeing anything more than a very slight color cast at some midtone
levels, then you're doing something grossly wrong.
