Digital BW, The Print

It seems pretty cool though, I think it depends on your overall needs. For example, if you 
are using a driver that makes no use of 16 bit on input, or just converts it to 8 there 
anyway, this issue alone would not rule it out.
My setup take grayscale 16 in, and I take pains to edit and prep files with as little 
converting back and forth as possible. I was very interested in it's re-sizing and 
sharpening features, but given that my files cam out the other end in 8 bit RGB, for me 
that was enough to move on. But if you are using the Epson driver, it may be great. As far 
as we know, it just loves to eat 8 bit RGB.
