But you will need to buy another printer...because these are separate inks
and I'm assuming that you will still want to print color with your existing
1280?  In my opinion you can't print good neutral BW with epson 1280 OEM
inks...you might be able to with a 2200...but they haven't officially come
out yet.  I agree with Steadman, buy a 1280, Piezo software and perhaps the
Selenium toned Piezotones...I think that is the best introduction to quad BW
printing...oh and get yourself a bunch of Epson Enhanced Matte to start
printing on...don't use Epson Heavyweight (which is fine for the 1280 inks),
Epson Enhanced Matte (or Epson Archival Matte) are made for pigment
inks...which the Piezotones are.
