3rd party inks and Epson ABW

2011-10-15 by ruds23

Hi. I am new to this forum. I have just aquired an R2880 and am trying
to get my head around ink choices. I print approximately 70% colour and
30% B&W. I am looking at both Conecolor and MIS inks. The information I
have found on the web indicates neither work well in ABW mode. Can you
get quality B&W prints form these thrid party inks using other programs
such as QTR? If so is it relatively easy to get a quality output? I am
willing to put some effot it, but unfortunatley do not have the time to
nut out something that is complicated.

I am also interested to hear peoples experience with these two inksets
with colour as well. Once again I would like to avoid a long and tedious
process to get good colour.  I will be printing mostly on matte paper,
probably enhanced matte.

Thanks for your help.
