(We've worked THAT horse already I think.) It's more difficult to print black and white using the Epson drivers on the Mac (I can't say about the Windoze world.) I've shifted to ImagePrint RIP and it works superbly with the 2200 producing black and white with absolutely NO hint of color on a variety of matte, glossy and semi-gloss Epson papers. My experience with the Epson drivers for OS X is positive for color but not so positive for black and white where Epson seemingly doesn't care. I'll be seriously considering an Epson 4000 although the ImagePrint RIP then gets VERY expensive (their pricing model is from the Bad Old Days).
