Re: Black Only (BO) print with epson 2200

Strange, but my 2100 with "black" uses only black ink (checked with 
loupe etc)and gives the warmish tone I mentioned in my previous 
message and offcourse not metamerism. 
I had problems about a year ago to get my printer use only black ink 
but it has been solved long ago. I think that had to do with some 
driver versions or somehow messing something. At least by removing 
everything "2100" related from my computer (and I mean removing, not 
just uninstalling) and re-installing drives did help, but that is a 
too long story.
Cheers, Esa
