Paul, 

Thank you very much for your response and all the information, I'm sorry for my ignorance,  carbon are the pigmented inks used in Epson R3000 or Pixma 9500? .

I have to learn a lot of things, what do you say about the Eboni inks is very interesting, also about the possibilities to use different inks in Epson, I think my decision will be for this one, as a most popular printer.

I realize we was already in contact throught the Leica Users Group, my Gallery : < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/
>, I've already saw your B&W pictures, they are excellent!

Thank you very much!

All the Best!
