Digital BW, The Print

The old PiezoBW software would not work with Eboni-6 as it is 
currently formulated.  However, the workflow for Eboni-6 using ICCs 
made with QTR's Create-ICC program is, in my view, supperior to the 
old Piezo rip in any case.  In addition to the modern workflow 
being "color managed" for essentially automatic monitor relative 
density matching, I believe you'll find it faster and having a better 
dmax.

While the Epson driver by itself will probably produce good results 
with Eboni-6, making an ICC only takes a flatbed scanner (as well as 
the QTR program).  It makes a very nice workflow -- the one I use 
most of the time now.
