Digital BW, The Print

Well, I just did some test prints, (all on the sheets of premium glossy 
that came with the machine), and every single one of them was what I 
would call excellent. I tried all the diferent color management systems 
like icc profiles, colorsync, sliders, and advanced BW. Every single 
print was great. The color matched my powerbook screen exactly on all 
the systems. I could tell no diference really. The epson icc profile 
looked exactly like the sliders a center with the "vivid" setting. The 
others were the same colors except just a little less saturation. Just 
barely diferent. The advance BW mode really works. Kind of spooky to 
get perfect neutral, cool, or warm, or sepia tones without wasteing 5 
or six sheets. The cool setting is very subtle. If you put it next to 
the neutral print, you might say the neutral one is "warm". The "warm 
setting is more obvious, but very nice. The sepia is nice too, and I 
generally dont like sepia too much.
Like i said, so far i have only tried Premium glossy, which usually is 
too glossy for me, but these look pretty nice. There is no bronzing at 
all, but there is a teensy bit of gloss diferential in the highlights. 
The highlights are a bit more dull. That is weird compared to MIS 
UT2/glop, where the highlights are are more glossy. The "highlight 
shift" button does not seem to do anything so far, with my test print.

now I just need to get some profiles for my other papers from somewhere

I hope this printer doesn't take all the fun out of printing!
