Digital BW, The Print

Well I try not to cast dispersions on a very popular technique.  Personally,
though, I use QTR and have done for a year or more. Many people like Black
Only for its grain and good on them.  It is an easy, useful technique.  The
2100 driver with MK ink is a Black Only technique.  Only the MK ink is used.
Any single ink workflow will, of course, have output influenced by the
warmth of the ink and paper combination.  Epson MK is rather warm and many
choose to replace it with Eboni.  (For many others, the use of any colour
ink other than toner is not a solution.)

However, the point of this thread was the ability, or lack thereof, to
select 2880 dpi in the Epson 2100 driver and the differences between the
2100 and the 2200 drivers which one would prima facie expect to be
identical.
