Thanks Bill ...
Have thought about the metamerizing issue (that's when the ink takes on a
kind of metallic look, right?) and, at least for the onset of this
exploration, it appears as a minor concern. Mostly I want to learn the
process as inexpensively as possible and make smallish prints to be used in
greeting cards, CD jackets, and to send to a few select friends and
acquaintances, as well as to see things like grain structure, cropping
choices, and other such things.
Have you tried B&W with your Epson?
Metamerizing is the inks taking on a decidely diffeent colour depending on the colour of light they are viewed under.
I have done B&W with mine, nothing special, just converting colour to B&W using the method you listed on your website and printing them using all four inks, rather than just the black ink, which I have found makes for pretty harsh contrast.
The results were about what I expected, OK, but not up to my standard for B&W.
