You have nicely summed up the dilemma that many of us faced for
several years.  Even though BO prints are grainy, I stuck with that as
my primary method for several years because I too didn't care for the
color and general look of the easy out-of-the-box methods with the
full ink sets (UT2, UT7, EZ-C86, etc).  The only way to get control of
these inks and get what you want is to use a RIP, which may take it
beyond the border of "not too complicated" for you.

The only thing I can recommend that gives really beautiful results and
is as easy as BO or the EZ methods is the new 2400 in ABW mode.  Only
problem is it's an $800 printer.  But I've found it to be worth every
penny.  So scrape together all your shekels, sell your baseball card
collection and anything else you can part with, and run don't walk and
get a 2400.  Great printer.

Clayton
