Digital BW, The Print

Josh,

I've been trying to pay attn to what's been suggested here. Yup, RGB mode,Epson 
Driver,Print w/Preview,Full Ink spread,right profile and NCA-and I *still* get a magenta 
cast-really tough,because I'm trying to get neutral-ultra neutral,perhaps,as i like my prints 
on the cool side...

I'll check out Harrington's....thanks (any tips for using it,other than what's on the site?)---
