Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the heads up on this printer.  Would the 7660 do the same 
thing?  Seems like the same print engine without some of the bells 
and whistles...

Also,  what if you use Red River Matte or EEM on the HP printers? 
Would you only get 30 years or something like that?  Just wondering 
out loud here.  Have an Epson 2200 but hate to dedicate it to B&W at 
this point.  Thanks..

Don
