Digital BW, The Print

There's a reason we all use epsons. They are the printer of choice for
high quality photography. Canon is slowly catching up. You WILL see dots
if you use black only ink. IF you aren't going to use a CIS system and
reduce the cost of your ink by 80 percent, and IF you don't need
anything bigger than Super A3 paper, The canon makes nice prints. Canon
ink cartridges are fairly expensive.
