Digital BW, The Print

It sounds like Epson may have finally improved/linearized it's ICM/NCA
color curves, so custom profiles and curves may be easier to develop:

<<<<<<<<< (from the Joseph Holmes article )
At the same time, the driver tables, which the user accesses by
picking No Color Adjustment and a particular paper choice in the EPSON
driver, are hugely improved from those in the older driver. The gray
neutrality is more than ten times better, and the tonal linearity is
significantly improved, so that traditional ICC profile making
processes work much better than they did with the previous systems.
