Digital BW, The Print

Hi Again David and others making black and white prints:

 

First:  I have nothing to do with Canon other than being interested.  I own
and use Epson printers.  However, the new Lucia pigment ink set has the 5
black inks and additional color inks that I alluded to previously.

 

For any that are interested, here is a link that might lead to other
information.

If any here are already using the Canon products to print black and white
images perhaps they can comment further.

Are you referring to the 2880?

 

Probably. I don't keep up with printers I'm not using. 

Incidentally, alluding to black and white printing using OEM inks:  Have any
considered the Canon models with their Lucia pigment inks?  12 tones
including 5 black inks..intuitively one might expect the tonal range with
more black inks to be superior.  However, I am not certain.

I don't believe Canon has anything like ABW. Plus, there are no aftermarket
cartridges or B&W inks. QTR doesn't work on Canon printers. I think it is a
non-starter for B&W. I'd love to be proven wrong.
