Digital BW, The Print

Evan,

I agree with your comments on the 2400 and ABW.  In the short while I¹ve had
the 2400, I¹ve printed on EEM and HPR successfully using ABW.  But my effort
with Epson VFA has been a total failure.  In order to access VFA in the
print dialogue, I had to feed through the front loading tray.  The resulting
print was a mess; there was (faint) ink outside the margins and the
otherwise very nice image was badly posterized.  Any thoughts on what I am
doing wrong?
