Digital BW, The Print

Mark,

Is this the standard Epson driver from a CD or downloaded from Epson?  There
are drivers that ship with XP that often don't work as well.

If the curves on matte paper work, I would think the glossy curves would
also work.  The settings are the same.  I assume there is no dullness in the
blacks as if the Eboni is printing.  What precise paper and curve are you
using?
