another newbie- epson only??

2003-04-17 by jaeder_instrument

Hello-
I only heard of quadtone and sixtone a few days ago, after searching around on how to print proper black and white photos via computer.

My question is, must I have an epson, or can I use the inksets in any inkjet photo printer, as long as some kind of 'workflow'-(whatever that is) is created for that printer?

I have a six color Kodak by Lexmark Personal Picture Maker 200 (great name, marketing- at least they didn't call it "Gold").  

Lexmark and Kodak both seem not to want to take credit for making this printer, and carts are high- available, much like aps and disc film, only from kodak it seems... Kodak can't even be bothered to make an osX driver for the thing...

Can I just slap the sixtone inkset in the empty carts and trial and error until it works, or will the printer burst into flame if it's not an epson?
