Hi All

Hi All

Hi All,

I'm new to the list and I just wanted to pose some difficult questions,

I've got an Epson 3000 that I woould like to convert to Black and White,
but there seem to be so many choices available.

I have seen some great info on Paul Rorks site, but a quick visit to MIS
left me confused as to which ink set is which, and what their
capabilities are as far as colour control. If anyone can clarify I'd
really appreciate it.

Also and this one will fall into the exotic domain, I've go and SGI
macfhine that I'm running as a RIP, just finished setting it up, and
colour inks loaded.
I'm using CUPS with Gimp print drivers so I've got effectively full
postscript control, is anyone out there using this combo for Black and
White?? What other options are available for black and white printing
besides Piezography from Cone editions and the Sundance Inks and driver.
I have seen mention of the IP5 driver in the first digest I have
received, any links appreciated on this one.

I know these are pretty much all encompassing questions, so all opinions
appreciated and respected...

Thanks

Glenn
