Digital BW, The Print

The 1100 with EZ type inks will do a better job than a sigle black only approach.  Although Epson sells the Workforce printers as fast text printers, they make rather classic quad printers also.  QTR does not support them, but an EZ approach works with them just like with the C88.  

In addition to an EZ approach, one can use Photoshote curves to partition the inks.  I have Evoni-4 curves for this.  I don't recommend most try to make their own curves for this.

At any rate, the 1100 is, in effect, like a 13" C88, but better.
