Sorry - I assumed I knew the correct URL from memory, but didn't.  The correct URL is:

Read especially Article 9, but you will enjoy many of the others too.

Read the articles at Clayton Jones' web site claytonjones.com .  He is very happy with the ABW capability of the more recent Epson pigment printers (which the R2800 supports) and going this way will let you print in both color and B&W with the OEM Epson inks and without switching ink carts.  The only downside I can see is that the ABW prints are most likely less archival than the Eboni 6/Carbon 6 inks on cotton, but this is probably isn't that much of an issue for someone just starting out in B&W printing.

That`s great news. Unfortunately the only Epson option still available for me in the stores is the R2800 or the R1900. 



How big is the ink cartrige? For how many A3 B&W papers will last approximately?

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.
