Digital BW, The Print

Hello all - my first post in this group...
I have been working on lyson daylight darkroom on an epson 2200, 
running off of a Win XP machine. Unfortunately I have had problems 
with subltly off color prints - principally a greenish cast and 
problems with metamerism.
Lyson tech support had been working with me on the problem, and I 
must say they have been trying very hard and are quite helpful.
The long and short of it is that daylight darkroon for the epson 
2200 on a mac uses a RIP which is reported to solve these problems, 
but on a PC, one is reduced to using profiles and layers in 
photoshop. I understand that the improved RIP for the PC will be 
soon available and will report back when I have it up and running.
On the plus side, their paper :darkroom gloss, is incredible and 
well worth trying.
