Digital BW, The Print

Hello Frank,

>sufficient.

The Epson driver in ABW mode does an excellent job.  There is an
article (#9 at the link below) which outlines an easy workflow for
getting top notch results using the 2400 as is.  There is nothing else
to buy and nothing to lose by giving it a try.  You will not only gain
valuable experience, but will have a frame of reference to compare
with if you decide to try other approaches, such as using a RIP and/or
other inks.  The article contains a step-by-step outline for setting
up the printer and has lots of helpful tips.

Regards,
Clayton
