No.  You need greater control over the use of the inks.  The Epson driver
does not permit this - you can't, for example, say to the Epson driver
"balance LM and LC and don't use M or C or Y."  You can do this with QTR.

QTR's workflow is essentially the same as using the Epson driver on a Mac.
With a PC, you have just one or two interim steps - a small price - (1) you
must do the conversion to print space manually and save a print version for
opening in QTRGui, and (2) you must open the print file with QTRGui and
print from there.  

No pain no gain ol' son.


OR just print "black only" with the Epson driver.  See here:
