Even if medium gray inks can be found you'd have to contend with the task of flushing out old ink from the printheads as well as the tubings. > - allowing use of all 7 inks will give you more greys (= less > banding, more smoothness), but at the expense of some slight colour > cast.

I'm not sure if the best color profile will remove color crossovers along the grayscale under different lighting conditions. > - you might find that a RIP gives you more control over B&W printing > than the HP driver.

The RIP I use definitely yields very neutral b/w prints but frequent recalibration/relinearization and gray balance adjustments are required as the printheads age. Sometimes I have to create a new profile to remove color crossovers that ultimately appear. A monochrome inkset will be much more forgiving but as you know we don't have it for the 130. Black only printing using a RIP just yields prints that are too grainy for my taste. > - I think if you intend to do serious B&W work on the 130, you will > need to spend a lot of time getting it just right.
