Re: Dedicatd B&W printer - is it worth it?

I believe we were talking about Piezo K7, and in that case the curves are expertly created for you for the more modern Epson printers and come loaded with QTR. Since there is no color involved, soft proofing create ICC  profiles are also not necessary. So, in that way it is a plug and play set up and even easier than ABW.
