Re: Need advice on new printer fo b/w.

2002-12-01 by doctorflash2000

I too have a 1270 and was totally unsatisfied with my B&W results.  
Earlier this year I bought a new Epson 3000 and fitted it with 
Piezography inks and have never looked back.  Results are wonderful.
I even displayed some prints in a small gallery showing with other 
photographers who printed both color and B&W using a "traditional" 
darkroom.  My prints held up well and I received several 
compliments.
