Digital BW, The Print

QTR is designed to work with quadtone inksets or the 2200/ultrachrome 
ink printers.

I don't see it making any improvement on your 1280 w/epson photo inks 
vs. printing with the epson driver and selecting black ink only.


You need to use 3rd party greyscale inks to take advantage of QTR on 
your printer.

You could set up QTR to make a black ink only print with a little touch 
of color, but you will have to make your own curves for it.

Actually, I think I'll try this on my old 1200!
