I'm getting into more B+W images at the moment and use Silver EFEX Pro to do the B+W conversion before finally sharpening in Photoshop and printing on a 3880.
What are the advantages (or disadvantages) using ABW over just printing from Photoshop using the respective paper profile.
Thanks
Dave
 
ABW only uses black inks and has to be used with no colour management which makes using CS5 and CS6 a no go. you can use a linear profile for ABW mode. ABW is tailored to epson papers obviously so it may not match your screen if you use 3rd party ink or paper.
 
Thanks Ross for your reply....really appreciated.

I never found it much cop when I used epson ink TBH. there is a micrograph some where showing the ink dots of the ABW print and one using a profile.
