Re: [Digital BW] Dedicating a printer to Black & White

2005-03-30 by Daniel Ridings

Do yourself a favour ... go to http://www.harrington.com , scroll down 
to the bottom and follow the link for QuadTone RIP.

Download the software, run the installer and check out the b/w results 
you get by using it with the 2200 and standard Ultrachrome inks.

Then pay for it if you use it, a whopping 50 USD. I've only tested it on 
a borrowed 2200 and have been able to compare with MIS Carbon inks on 
another printer. QTR is very, very nice. No hassle with other inks, you 
can print both color and black and white on the same printer with 
beautiful results in both cases.
