Digital BW, The Print

I've just spent an afternoon with QTR, newly installed...it certainly
has resolved most of my main concerns about B&W/2200...

I used one exceptionally wide-ranged, highly detailed scan of a
beautiful industrial photo (better than my own work :-)...everything
from tiny specular highlights to deepest blacks...

Using the Epson pig set I've printed (and made notes on) ten different
versions starting with coldest possible, cold black/heavy sepia, cold
black/heavy warm, cold black/slightly warm etc etc etc...  They're ALL
satisfactory (depending upon what you want tone-wise)...none of the
"crossover" and weirdness that I've gotten a lot of when printing
directly from the Epson driver.  

Maybe there's a better way to fly, but QTR is a huge step in the right
direction. 

My next step is to see how this relates to Qimage, or how Qimage can
approximate this...or if they're good partners in some way.
