I don't think we can print to film without a RIP anymore with the new Epson or any brand drivers.

I printed directly from my new 1100 while the lid was open and discovered that it was not laying down pure black. So I did some searching on the internet, it says that most new drivers will lay down other colours even though you are printing a gray scale. They say this will prevent the other colour print heads from drying

HP9800 does the same thing.  With a Black and a Multi-color cartridge, it still uses some of the Multi-color even printing just black. 

I guess the solution would be to get a printer you can change out to all black cartridges and it won't matter.  Don't think the HP can do that, but I think the Epson, at least some, can be done that way.
