Digital BW, The Print

I got a CD Tobie profile, and am able to make excellent black and white
prints with MIS COLOR pigmented Archival inks. They have an ever so
slightly different "look" than quads, but they're identical for most uses.

I switched from epson oem carts to a CIS with MIS pigs, color inkset, and never got what I consider to be a satisfying b&w print.  Either abrupt tonal gradations of posterization, there was always a problem.  I wasted a couple hundred sheets of paper trying to make it work, but was unable.  I switched back to MIS color dyes with the CIS, and have been printing beautiful b&w images without any disapointment.
