Digital BW, The Print

I just started printing my images with an Epson R300 printer, via 
Photoshop and an Ilford profile for Ilford Galleria Classic Pearl 
paper.  The color prints are excellent and very close match to the 
images on the monitor but all my efforst to print B&W and toned 
prints (my main medium)results in a green color cast.  I understand 
metermerism is a common problem with dye based inks, hence the color 
cast.

I am considering an Epson C86 printer fitted with MIS ultratone B&W 
carbon based inks.  I searched the archives at this forum in an 
effort to find a thread that indicates prints made with this printer 
and MIS inks are: "great", "OK", etc.  In addition I visited the MIS 
website and Paul Roark's site and did my research.

I have no idea if I will be satisfied with prints made with the C86 
and MIS inks or not - rich blacks, good midtones and bright whites.  
I find myself comparing my old silver gelatin prints to this new 
medium.  I suspect there is no direct comparison between digitally 
printed images and silver gelatin images

Will one of the members be kind enough to post their experience with 
this printer and MIS inks.

Thanks,

Rod
