I agree. The Epson R2400 has made printing a no brainer when used with the Epson papers and profiles. I use Velvet Fine Art, Ultra-Premium Luster, and Enhanced Matte (which has a new name that I've forgotten. The Ultra-Premium Luster is used with the Photo Black ink, the other two with the Matte Black. But they all deliver great BW prints that are totally free of any color cast and show great grayscale gradation. Color prints are super as well, with better shadow detail and gradatin than I've seen from any other printer.
