The only caveat is that once you've set the printer up for them, it's impractical to swap back to the color inks. It's much better to dedicate a single printer to the use of the Quadtones and leave it that way. As in darkroom printing, papers play a big part in how the final image looks. Experiment, find the papers that do it for you. Godfrey >Now that I'm getting back into B&W (no Eggleston am I :-), I want to use my >Epson 750 to do the printing.
