Digital BW, The Print

1st thing I'd ask is how are you printing? Are you printing a
grayscale image rather than rgb mode? Are you printing from photoshop
using the epson driver using "print with preview"? Are you printing
black only or using the full ink spread? Are you using a proper paper
profile? An most importantly are you clicking the box marked "NO COLOR
ADJUSTMENT"? The last bit is big, if it's not checked the system does
double profiling and you will often get magenta prints. Other than
that have you tried Roy Harrington's Quad Tone Rip?
