Re: Epson Premium Glossy with Quadtones?

If you really want glossy BW prints, I suggest you check out the 
Lyson dye inks. You will have to make up your own mind on the 
longevity (they should outlast any color print, but won't come close 
to the life of "carbon pigment" <g>.

You can see the estimates for various ink/paper combos on the Lyson 
site.

They make fantastic looking prints...won't bet my soul on how long 
they last.
