Re: [Digital BW] black and white with epson 2200 and color inks

Lewis,

The "Photorealistic method"  was one of the first things I tried after 
getting a 2200 about two years ago, but it is not immune to metamerism 
and there are better ways to get neutral, metamerism free prints today. 
  I would suggest using either a RIP (QuadtoneRIP, IJC/OPM, or 
ImagePrint) with the UC inks to get metamerism free prints or 
alternatively print using only the black ink or use the MIS UT7 inkset.
