RE: [Digital BW] Ultra Tones & Dedicated B&W vs ImagePrint & 7-Color

2003-10-24 by Daniel Staver

I'd just like to add that the 2200 really doesn't have to be dedicated
to one inkset. It easily handles switching between different inksets.

Just today I switched between Epson inks with matte black, Epson inks
with MIS photo black, MIS Ultratones with Eboni black, and finally back
again to the Epson inks with matte black. It wastes some ink because you
have to run a couple of cleaning cycles, but otherwise it works fine.

I usually don't switch inksets that frequently, but I was trying to fix
a problem that I finally discovered to be caused by a faulty chip
resetter. The printer would appear to malfunction every time I used a
cartridge reset with the SK168 chip resetter within the last two months
or so. The printer would work fine with cartridges reset before that.
