Digital BW, The Print

Hi--

I've been working in Photoshop for several years and printing with
several  different Canon printers.  I was pleased with the color
prints--whichwas the vast majority of my work.  Lately, I've been
moving more  and more inthe direction of b&w.  I like the results I
see on the screen.  But the Canon printers (i9900, S820, etc.) create
a variety of colors  casts that I'm not too pleased with.

After a fair amount of research, I broke down and just ordered an
Epson 2200, which will be used exclusively for b&w. printing.  I'd
love any advice on getting started in b&w with this printer,
including your experience with inks, paper, settings, etc.  

Thanks!

I think a dedicated B&W inkset has a number of advantages.  See my Readme on
the MIS UT 7 inkset at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/UT-2200-Readme.htm.
