Digital BW, The Print

It seems to me that EEM just turns as yellow (or cream color) as 
Epson UltraSmooth is to start with.  The only problem is when I try 
to ship prints from inventory that are a bit more yellow than the 
fresh prints off the roll. (Not much inventory, though, unless I'm 
printing 16x20s and put 2 8x10s next to it.)  Although I only notice 
it in the margin, not in the image itself. By itself, the yellower 
print is not a problem to my eye - only in comparison.  Although EUS 
is yellow in the image, too - so much so that tinting using 
ImagePrint is not really acceptable, but I don't do enough EUS to try 
to work out the kinks - i.e. find the right tint settings.

I'm going through a 100' roll a week on my 7600, and at $0.05 per 
inch (24" wide), I don't know of any reasonably priced alternative - 
nor would I be temped to try one.  I'm printing for the retail 
market - i.e. 8x10 for $20, 11x14 for $30, up to 24x30 for $100 - all 
B&W, using ImagePrint gray profiles, and gold tone (50,50), rose tone 
(75,100), or blue tone (20,20) - Aubrey Bodine's favorite toning 
other than sepia which he used for Salon exhibition prints.  And all 
in all EEM is a heck of a lot better than the fading that happened on 
the 1280 using BO with OEM dye inks on Epson HeavyWeight Matte that I 
had the first two years in business.
