Re: [Digital BW] Which printer for B&W?

2011-01-14 by Sylvain

I started with my Epson 1400+Eb1400 kit as a rookie. Never printed photos, since I was a darkroom guy. It took me a few days to read docs, discuss with Paul to understand the main topics, and then I bought the system. 2 hours after installation the first print went out, and it was already absolutely great.
Regarding printing often or not: I printed last WE for the first time since 2 months: no head clog. I just had to gently shake the cartridges to mix carbon inks. Nothing really hard.
