Stay on the OEM path until you have a need for something you cannot 
find on it.

print made with IP7 and a 7800.

I'm not looking or any of the other features of a RIP (multi images

per print, automation, etc).  I am simply looking to find the

driver/profile combination that gives me the best images using the

Epson K7 ink set.  I don't want to go all the way and get John Cone's

or other all black inksets as I switch from color to b&w often and I

only have 1 printer.
