Re: [Digital BW] Re: Epson K3 inks and Advanced B&W mode

Clayton,
Would LOVE to be able to do that. But unless I¹m overlooking something, I
can¹t go back to page setup (I¹m on a Mac BTW and reside in the U.S.) to
switch back to sheet feeder.

So once I¹ve selected manual roll to access VFA, even if I save my config.
Settings, once I go back to it, it resets by default...

I¹ve been proofing on enhanced matte paper so selected it anyway...I don¹t
really know what to judge it against, but looks AOK to me. From this
non-expert, it seemed *pretty* neutral, but thought I detected some color in
there.

Frank
