A very Happy New Year to all,

I have been trying with great fervor to obtain a level of B&W inkjet 
printing that has been eluding me for quite some time now.  I've 
been using the Fred Miranda BW Workflow Pro for my Color to B&W 
conversion in Photoshop CS, and I have an Epson R800.  I prefer 
Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl, and also use the Epson Enhanced Matte, 
and Premium Glossy papers.  An example of the kind of perfection 
that I'm looking for is at http://www.alennox.net.  This is the 
artist Annie Lennox's website.  She's also a photographer, and there 
is a killer B&W photograph of her in the Gallery on this website.  I 
do have a sneaking suspicion, that this level of B&W is a medium 
format film thing, and only in my dreams will I achieve this level 
of giclée type printing.

If anyone has any suggestions/recommendations on how to achieve this 
with Photoshop CS and my R800, I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks,

Laurence M. Schwarz
