Re: Epson 2000P whats different ?

2002-08-22 by a_pettit_jr

Hello BJM,

I had the identical experience with the VM inks and that is why I was going to give the FS set a try before retiring this printer. I am excited to hear that Someone has found the 2000P a useful printer for BW !
Please provide me the link to John Wolf's workflow information. I'd certainly prefer to do that rather than attempt to invent ( probably unsuccesfully ) my own design..  
I have all the MIS FS CFS parts, just 'some assembly required'.

Best,
Alex
