Digital BW, The Print

I have used MIS inks (but not Lyson)in an Epson C86.  The results are 
neutral b&w prints.  Since that worked out well, I have ordered a set 
of black inks and refillable cartridges for the 2200, thinking that 6 
variations of black will be even better than 4.  Daniel says save 
yourself trouble and download QuadToneRIP.  Worth a try. If you can 
understand how to run it you get what sound like wonderful results 
for $50.  If you can't run it, you don't have to pay.  I never could 
run it, so have gone to the MIS inks. . . Edward --- In
