Are you supposed to use PK with matte paper in the 7600? I don't use the 
7600 so I know nothing about it but with other Epson printers that use UC 
inks the usual recommendation is to use MK with matte paper.

Subject: [Digital BW] Digital vs scan for BW Print


I have recently started shooting with a Canon  20D from shooting MF
then scanning on the
MInolta Mulit Pro.  I shoot in RAW format and convert with Adobe
Camera Raw in CS2.  The
MF shots were on transparency then converted to BW in PS using
usually the
channel mixer.  I
notice that the scanned film when converted to black and white
results in a better and
cleaner looking BW image and the prints are also noticeably better in
terms of contrast and
depth. Print sizes vary from 8x10 to 16x20 on my Epson 7600 using UC
inks(Photo Black)
usually on EnH matte or Hahnemule PH rag.  Just may be me but I was
wondering what
others may think and
would greatly
appreciate any comments.  I have tried some of the plugins out there
for BW conversion
but I think the result is similar to that obtained in PS.
