Warren, ABW = Advanced Black and White. This is true compared to previous Epson drivers and printers. The latest series of printers now allow you to, WITHOUT the additional purchase of a RIP, or additional software make some very nice B&W prints. Some will argue about that amounts of certain ink (color) that it allows in a print. It big advantage is to give a beginner, no tech type person, a way to make both color and B&W images that are of high quality. There are programs, like QTR, that give you more control over that process. In the world of Epson printers and drivers it is a vast improvement. However, in the world of digital B&W it is a long time coming and still has failings that some find love to complain about.

Are their prints that much better then what the Epson driver can do in ABW to make all the extra work (hassle, in my opinion) worth it?" Leading me to ask: What is ABW?
