Hi Jerry,

If you think your Epson 2200 color prints are good with the Epson driver, you should give IP 5.6 a try. I was amazed at the rendering difference with, for instance, the blue of clear blue sky in landscapes! Additionally, you could also print very nice B&W images from the same printer.

Just a thought......IP ain't cheap, and quite a few folks have issues with it, but I've been very happy with it...so far. YMMV, of course.
