QTR-Quadtone RIP

Definitely try QTR. It limits color use to just LM and LC and produces
neutral prints that you can control the tone of from warm to cool. Try it
and see if you are happy with the smoothness. Beyond that you will need to
think about MIS or Piezography products.

  Hi Tom,
  I have just started printing B&W on the 2200. I have
  tried a variety of settings, etc. I have downloaded
  the various paper profiles and yet I'm getting a color
  cast on all B&W-some more than others. I DO NOT have
  any RIP software. Everything I got came with the
  Epson printer.

  Perhaps I should ask the question: What steps are
  needed to get good B&W with the 2200 without
  purchasing software that cost $400-$500?
  Thanks for your help, Ken
