Digital BW, The Print

If you can't get the C86 running you can still get a C88 from Amazon for 
under $90 and run the EZ inks in that.  Check 
http://www.amazon.com/Epson-Stylus-C88-Printer-C11C617121/dp/B000FSOZE4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1321907456&sr=8-2  


I've been using EZ inks for years, starting with the C84 when it was the 
current model, and moving on to the C88 when it replaced the earlier 
models.  (I think they take the same cartridges, as I was able to 
transfer my CIS from the C84 to the C88 without any adjustments that I 
can rec all.).  I make hundreds of 8x8 prints at Christmas to bind into 
books for family members, and have always been pleased with the ease 
with which this printer/ink combination makes nice B&W images.  Printer 
longevity is not a strong point for these printers - I can't remember 
how many I've had over the years but I had at least 3 of the 84s and 
have had at least 5 or 6 of the 88s.  I think I do usually get at least 
a thousand prints out of one, so I'm not really complaining.

Cheers,
Kip
