Digital BW, The Print

Thankyou for the evaluation Mitch,

I am using IP with a 4800.  I  am finding the same things in the images 
as you. I wondered if the epson advanced bw mode was overspraying! I 
think you are correct though. It probably is an underlayment.
I have installed a reprogrammed Matte cart in the light light black 
slot and so I am now using the DK "phatt" profiles. I have only used 
this setup a day or two so I am still evaluating. So far it looks very 
promising. Having come from a 2400 where I had to change ink sets 
(MIS)  to do bw this new setup with IP and DualK carts is like a dream 
come true. Excellent color or b&w on luster,or matte with no musical 
ink cartridge games!!
 The mattes I will be trying it with are ultra smooth and Hahnemuhle 
satin.

I am also getting familiar with the image factory convert pro plugin. 
So far it looks better than channel mixer for conversion.
