Digital BW, The Print

I would have said the C82 with MIS's "Easy B&W" was the cheapest/easiest
answer, but Bob's idea of a refurbished 890 (1280-compatible) printer for
$140 is probably better.  Among other things, it opens up the UT2 system as
an option gives you a lot more power and flexibility than the C82.  That
makes for a nice entry level option.

My information sheet on the inkset is at
 http://home1.gte.net/res0a2zt/UT2-Info.htm .
It's a bit dense and getting longer due to the glossy papers I'm trying, but
it's actually a very easy inkset to use.  The Ultra Tone 2 (UT2) inks are
sold by MIS (www.inksupply.com).

Epson 890 ($140 refurb from Epson). This is the narrow carriage
version of the infamous 1280. Use free 1280 workflows & curves from
MIS or this site, and MIS inks. www.inksupply.com Or, Black Only using
any black ink, see http://www.cjcom.net/digiprnarts.htm . 

Sorry, I've never used Lyson inks.
