Digital BW, The Print

Perhaps, It is more an indication that Epson has really been paying
attention to the needs of the B&W digital printer and tried to eliminate the
undesirable outcomes. It would be interesting to see the ink usage of a
neutral ICC profile, made by PFP, an EYE One set up, etc., to see how they
stack up. However, unless you are only printing B&W I see no reason to fret
about .87% yellow ink. Those needing a system that does both would be better
off leaving things be and those printing only B&W might be better off with
just a dedicated ink set with toners included within the more neutral ink.
