Question regarding Epson 1280 and Quadtones... (newbee)

2003-10-05 by altafb2000

hi all, 

Ok,so i'm gonna get the epson 1280, and am trying to find out the best
way to get good quality black and white - I'm gonna make 1280 a
dedicated black and white printer... so I figure I can try out the
Quadtones... But I'm a bit confused, on which quadtone to get, and
what the differences are... 

From the inksupply.com - I see that a couple of options are
availaible: one is variable mix quadtones, and the other full
spectrum, and then there is Sepia tone   I'm wondering what the
differences are? And how do I decide what to get? 

I'm also assuming that in the 1280 there are two catridges, one black,
and the other color? So, if i were to get these catridges - do i get
two of the same, put one in the black, and the other in color? 

Sorry, if this too new bee --- i tried to go through the faxes on
inksuplly.com but couldnt figure it out... well, hopefully someone can
answer this here... otherwise, I'll just call them next week... I'd
like to order the ink and printer at the same time... so I can begin
printing when the printer arrives...
