Well, I will simplify this very complicated process :-)
1. Put in MIS R200 UTR2W inkset.
2. Turn on printer.
3. Print photo

I have printed using Picassa II, as well as Photoshop 7.
I have printed without converting the photo to black and white or 
manipulating it in any way.
Amazing, isn't it!  It is really too easy.

The only problem I have had, on one print, is using the glossy setting on 
matte paper.  Severe banding was what happened, though it was consistent and 
looks kind of cool to me.

I have not done BO printing, but do not see the need with these inks.

Now I must learn to use the various techniques in Photoshop to tweak the 
process, do a better monitor calibration, and learn to use the profiles Paul 
has posted.  But this will be going from happy to happier.
