Digital BW, The Print

Hi, 
I finally got my 4000 and will be doing a few tests. Has anyone tried 
the atkinson profiles with the 4000 and how did they work as compared 
to the standard profiles for B&W and color?   

Also, I understand you can use the gray balancer w/ the 4000 and was 
wondering if you can get a bit more neutrality i.e. with this 
tool...? 
Thanks!
Steve

Atkinson's profiles are only for the 7600 and 9600 - they will not work on the 4000 as the 
hardware is differnet and the Epson driver is lays ink down differently than the 7-9600 
driver. As a far as the gray balancer...forget it!

John-

I found the Epson profiles pretty decent for Epson papers, but way 
off for everything else. I added an Image Print license to my dongle 
and I'm really happy with the results.

Being limited to Epson papers isn't the end of the world, by the 
way...there are 17 inch rolls of UltraSmooth Fine Art available and 
that is a fabulous paper.

I think you will see considerable improvement from the 2200 Epson 
profiles without much tweaking at all.
