Digital BW, The Print

The issue quickly arises if you move away from the Epson inks and the Epson
driver but that is a freedom well worth having.  I am running quite a high
ink load at the moment to drive my dMax on EPSG over 2 (2.2 for neutral
curves) and use glop to greatly reduce bronzing for beautiful B&W prints -
way in excess of what I have ever been able to get with Epson inks and
driver.  The cost is the pizza wheel marks which are no more....
