Digital BW, The Print

After all the settings for the Epson RIP that were flying around this list
last week, I tried it again on the 2200 and somehow screwed it up to the
point that everything was coming out a sick muted red color.  So, I
completely uninstalled and reinstalled the software (Win XP).

My first print after the reinstall got rid of the red color, but I still see
the problem I was seeing before:  warm/brown in the 5-10% patches of Paul
Roark's step wedge.  Cool blue/purple at 15-20%.  Warm again from 25-40%,
and then a magenta cast from 45-85%.

I then made changes to the driver settings one at a time to see where the
red problem came from.  It appears that when I select the MatteBK+LightBK
ink setting in
Start/ControlPanel/Printers/.../Properties/DeviceSettings/InstallableOptions
/BlackInkCombination, I get the horrible red color in my prints using both
B&W and Color settings when printing.  I even tried restarting Photoshop and
PServer and the only way to get rid of the red was to switch back to
PhotoBK+LightBK even though I'm using Matte Black ink.

I've seen one post that someone was able to get the MatteBK+LightBK setting
to work.  I'd be interested in hearing from others if they get the same red
results I get using that setting.
