Thanks for the response, Roy.

Assuming I stick with the Ultrachromes,
do you see any advantage to QTR over
the Epson driver for printing BW images?

I think we agree that an Epson printing
with just one ink channel is far from
optimal.

If I were to dedicate an Epson to a monochrome
inkset, it would be a no-brainer to use QTR.
