Digital BW, The Print

Lou,

Thanks for you raplay. I am supriced (and happy) that you get better Dmax, color gemut 
ect. by using epsons own driver. I have only read about this Imageprint and somehow 
understood that the result was in a diffent lige than streat from the epson driver. 

I would be interested in hearing more about you experince with Imageprint and the 
diffence from using it streat from the epson driver. Are there a big diffence in Dmax and 
how come they make this expencive Imageprint softwere and miss a good Dmax? Differes 
the same pictures otherwice when printed from the epson driver and from the imageprint? 

I would like to read more about the QTR for black and whrite can you rekoment a good 
link?

Thanks for you time,

Joakim
