Printing at 1440 I find Black Only and Photoshop-one-step-desaturated black are very close, and match my monitor visually very closely. However, at 6X9" the BO dots overpower my 900ei film's grain...whereas the film grain becomes visible in the significantly smoother tones produced by the Epson driver. Black Only usually seems inferior to CS2-managed Epson/UT7 from scanned files, though the dots add zip to grainless digicam files. The blacks and overall color appear nearly identical (though the Epson is obviously smoother and the BO is higher contrast), but on close inspection there is sometimes a tiny amount of R(Y/M),in the Epson smooth high greys, and sometimes Y in the highlights, barely enough to discern on Moab Kayenta (ultrawhite like EEM). This is with UT7, not Epson pigs. Question: Which inks are being used by the Epson driver when I directly print from a Photoshop-one-step-desaturated file?
