Digital BW, The Print

Hello

A friend of mine bought an EPSON R2400 (= European name) the other
day. She will only be using OEM inks. From time to time however she
would like to print
Black and white - mostly on glossy papers. 

Questions:

a) I don't see the 2400 in the dropdown list of printers in my QTRGUI
vers. 2.5.2.1 . My own printer (the EPSON 2100 is there allright). Am
I missing something???

b) Is there a noticeable difference d-max wise and regarding
metamerism/bronzing etc. between R.H. quadtone RIP and the EPSON
driver(if only OEM cartridges are being used).

Tanks for any info

I agree with Clayton in keeping printing simple: The advanced black and 
white driver by Epson (ABW) is able to do very high quality b&w 
archival printing, if you use OEM inks, and you can always print colour 
without changing inks.

The official model number is R2400 so it sorts differently.  It's there.

Not really.  Dmax is mainly dependent on the ink-paper combination.
