That does not in any way conflict with what I was saying; quite the  
opposite. Moving up to a 2400 or beyond would allow for a pretty  
reasonable B&W print, from a printer that would also print color.  
Attempting to get gallery quality B&W out of a 2200 would really  
require a dedicated inkset. I think you would find most of the  
regulars on this list to think of my bias as being in the other  
direction; towards using the OEM multiple gray inksets (which can be  
directly profiled with the products I develop) over specialty gray  
inks and specialty drivers (which can utilize our tools as well, but  
not as directly). The fact is I find it all intriguing, but have more  
excuse to deal with the stuff for which I develop products.
