Digital BW, The Print

Hmmm....nothing in that other post for some reason.

Shilesh...I haven't yet tried any of the new papers in my 2200....it's simply a $$ issue for 
me right now, but I hope to perhaps this coming month. My HPR/Eboni/BO printing is 
such a no brainer and I can't afford too much experimentation, though I'm itching to.

Um....green-warm vs. brwon-warm.....yuck . They both sound awful. Does MIS have a 
more nuetral alternative PK?

Thanks so much for the dialogue on this....with everyone so geeked out on Epson ABW it 
appears BO has fallen a bit by the wayside. Understandably, I guess. But I'm hoping to 
stick with BO for awhile because my work is so well suited to it (high contrast, not much 
expanse of mid-tones).

So, thanks once again!
Sarah
