Digital BW, The Print

Hi everyone,

I am new to the group and new to printing high quality images.  I just received my Epson R2880 and am loving it.  I am trying to get acclimated to the printer.  One question I have.  My monitor is color calibrated and I am using Photoshop CS3 for all my color corrections.  Should I disable the color management system on the R2880?  Is this CMS basically just ruining all the adjustments I make in Photoshop?  Any help would be appreciated.    

I know that this group deals with b/w but I feel like it is even having an impact on my b/w images.  any help would be great.

I turn off color mgt in the print driver on my 2880 and use " let photoshop
manage color" in the print dialog.  I build my own profiles with Spyder 3.

Photoshop color management assures that your images are color managed  
from original source, through workingspace, and all the way to output,  
if you choose to use it for output.

But you need to choose: you can use your epson printer's output color  
management, and it's canned profiles (which are triggered from the  
driver's media setting) and set Photoshop to "printer color  
management"  or you can use Photoshop's color management, with canned  
profiles or custom profiles, and set the driver to "no color  
management" or equivalent.

The advantage of the latter is the ability to use custom profiles, for  
non-Epson papers or inks. Plus the ability to proof to your profile in  
advance...
