Digital BW, The Print

Dan-

I've just started using my 2200...and I really feel weird just 
removing the photo black and inserting the matte black hoping the PK 
will seal like it says (with no tape or anything)...I put the 
partially used one in a ziplock baggie. Does everyone really do this?

Can you also do it with other colors? or just the switchable black 
position?

I can tell you... I spent a FORTUNE on ink last week...was off all 
week and ran the printer to death trying to learn all I could about 
it...great printer IMHO but not sure it's really the best at 
everything...makes a hellova nice neutral BW matte print though...a 
very passable semi-matte or semi-gloss BW print (Lyson small gamut is 
still a bit better) and reasonable glossy BW...Color isn't quite as 
snappy as dye ink, but it's the best pigment I've seen by 
far...particularly on matte paper (though I just bought a bunch of 
the Redrock semi-matte on a close out at Inkjetgoodies that was 
really cheap and looks great).

I'm looking forward to CIS for 2200...

cheers,

Tom O'Connell
