Re: [Digital BW] Converting an Epson 2000P to B&W??

2010-07-11 by Tom Garrett

For the record;  I use the 1400 with Paul Roark's Eboni 6 carbon ink set and get great results and do not use any curves
etc.  I buy the ink set from www.inksupply.com.  The type of paper you use will somewhat determine whether it will print
cooler or warmer.  Yes, all 6 inks are a variation of black.

  Ok, but do I just put black ink in all 6 cartridges?? (the 1400 does use 6 colors, right??)

  John..

  There is NO NEED to modify the 1400..all you need do is get a set of empty auto-resetting chipped cartridges, and bulk ink for refilling..MY source is http://www.inksupply.com ..look for the "UT14" workflow from Paul Roark on their site in the B&W section..Once you get into it, it's pretty much plug and play..The 1400 is a GREAT machine in comparison to your 2000..I wouldn't put my efforts into a machine that no one is supporting anymore..

  Good Luck!

  Eddie

  That may be true, but I HAVE the 2000P, and wouldn't I then have to modify 
  the 1400 anyway??

  (Picoliters = droplet size???)
