Re: Which printer for B&W?

Istv�n,

Why not one printer for B&W and color?

I have been using an Epson R1800 for several years, for both 3K B&W printing, and color printing.  The only fault is that it needs to be on matte surface papers, unless you want to change ink in the PK and GO channels which is not hard to do.

The problem is finding a good R1800 printer.  They have not been made for five years.  It is the best printer for the 3k printing process because of the very tiny ink drop size.

This printer works extremely well with the Epson Hot Press Papers.  But is limited to only 13 inches wide.
