Epson 2000P Pantone Printing

2001-12-13 by a_pettit_jr

I have discovered difficulty which the Epson tech support team
seems unable to resolve.

I have resumed my photo hobby after an extended summer 
break and have been attempting to refine my printing techniques.

I wish to print in 'B&W' and have been trying endless PhotoShop
Pantone selections in order to find one which will minimize the
green cast of the 2000P's metamerism.... 

What I finally discovered last night was that there appears to be 
an 'autocorrection' enabled in the Epson software that creates 
basically the same results with no regard to the color overtones of 
the input image.... I have also tried endless combinations of the 
Custom Control settings with minimal variations in the output..

The dark areas have a magenta tone, the mid ranges are tan, and
the light areas have a greenish shade ....

Has anyone experienced this?  
Has anyone found a solution ?

Can someone please recommend a BW inkset compatible with the 2000P 


Best Regards !
