Newbie post. Recommendation Request.

2003-12-15 by imsireal

I am new to quad tone printing and really don't want to approach it with a great 
investment of my time. I am looking for a simple to set up, but more importantly, 
simple to use quad tone ink system for an Epson 1200. I am a Mac user and am using 
OS X 10.3.

I have been considering the Cone bottle feed system but this is the only system I 
really have seen information on. I would be interested in knowing what other systems 
arre available. I do like the Cone Selenium tone and would be looking for something 
similar.

The end goal is to be able to produce fine art digital b/w prints up to A3+ (13"x19") 
size without too much hassle. I want to sell the prints so they should be archival/
long-lasting and I would like to be able to choose from a wide range of papers.

I would appreciate any advice.
