Again, IP B&W prints are really neutral, and not warm at all. IP color profiles are made in 
several versions for different viewing environments (daylight, flourescent, mixed lighting, 
etc). The B&W profiles come in only one version, and the only problem for glossy-type 
papers like Epson Semi-Matte is some bronzing.

For B&W IP uses mainly the two black inks and some of the colors to fill in highlights, and 
does not use yellow at all, which also improves longevity, which apparently is the shortest 
for yellow.
