B&W prints, which inks in use.

An Epson rep mentioned that in B&W Advanced mode, the 4800 is mainly using the three black inks, but with a hint of light cyan and light magenta. Makes sense re how good the B&W prints are overall, plus the toning options in Advanced mode.

Pete,

that makes sense, as it's what RIPs like QuadTone do to give me neutral B&W from my 2100, even on glossy paper. That said, I've never achieved such deep blacks as on the 4800/7800 samples. The Ken Duncan panorama they were printing on glossy with the 7800 was quite stunning.

Hi Andrew, I agree - those prints were great! As sucky as it sounds, there's really not a lot I've found to knock about the quality of the prints, B&W and color.
