Digital BW, The Print

tonight i tried some Aurora test color image using Epson EEM profile instead of the Red 
River profile for Aurora, and it actually printed w/ slightly richer, more saturated color.

i've had the 2400 for only a few days now and i'm very happy w/ the B&W, somewhat 
happy w/ the color.

by the way, Aurora w/ B&W is also slightly less saturated than w/ EEM. if i didn't have EEM 
for proofing i would probably never know the difference.

do you know a way that i can bump up saturation just a tad (ever so slight) at the printing 
source, rather than in CS2?

at the moment i'm using Clayton's easy B&W printing method for the 2400.

thanks for your feedback eric.
