No this is my first large format printer and hence it will take me a while
to get used to managing (tweaking) the printer rather than using it on
"auto".  I am comparing it with having used UC inks and MIS inks in a 2100.

Just printed the same image using "Black" rather than Advanced Black and
White.  The good news Clayton is that Black only is supported - I can't see
any colour ink under a loupe.  The bad news is that it has bronzing up the
wazoo - just like the ultrachromes (again I used ISP paper).  Clearly the
light is getting in and around the droplets of ink as opposed to when the
three blacks are used and there is a more solid ink coverage.  (At any rate
I think people will find the Advanced B&W mode just as easy to use as BO and
hence much of the attractiveness of BO (ie its ease of use) dissipates.)
