Digital BW, The Print

Has anyone actually raised this with Epson?  I doubt they are aware of the
popularity of the BO method.  Secondly, if their driver uses the colour inks
it would suggest that QTR could do a decent job with the printer also.
However, I understand from Roy that in order to get to the smaller droplet
size you have to have at least 1440x1440 and Gimp doesn't get there.
