Re: [Digital BW] MIS inks and Epson

2002-06-02 by n3wskin

Thanx Paul,

I think I will get an Epson 870 for BW Prints, and use your variable 
mix quad workflow with the epson drivers (pc version).

Just wondering what kind of paper is best suitable for these inks 
and printer? (I like glossy and semiglossy on color prints)

Thank you

Miguel
