Digital BW, The Print

No I am not. Ergo Soft wants a ridiculous amount to upgrade to support it, and even then its so difficult to  profile that they want to make the profiles for you from what I can gather. 12 channels is apparently another world of complexity.

No, it's not necessary unless you were to set up a special inkset like I was dreaming about sometime down the line, OR if you want to profile cymk really well for design work etc. Then it would be worth the trouble. 

I just use the Epson driver and there is Q-Image for ripping digital camera files and printing really long, etc.
