Digital BW, The Print

I don't know of any third-party inks for the C80. There may be some, I just 
don't know of them.

I have a C80 for general office printing. I've also used it to print b/w 
and color images and it does a respectable job. I usually use black ink 
only for the b/w prints. Up close, you can see the dot pattern with only 
black ink. I did a color image the other night using the Vivid setting and 
it came out nice and punchy (it was a colorful balloon image). I've had 
good results with Epson Archival Matte, Crane's Museo, Concord Rag, and 
Somerset Photo Enhanced Velvet.
