Re: Epson R220 BO driver problem?

Hello Brian,

That's exactly right.  Eboni is a pure carbon ink and so is a bit on
the warm side by itself (although it's a bit cooler than the Epson
black).  The R2 warm set is 3 shades of pure carbon inks.  The Neutral
set has those three plus two more that have some cool pigment added as
toners.


Regards,
Clayton
