Re: Help with chooseing Black and white inks

Richard,

you may take a look at:

http://www.mwords.co.uk/index.htm

More in our Links section. Also, it may be a good idea to search our archives for more 
info. Please keep in mind that  once you switch to bw inks, you pretty much dedicated 
the printer to mono. Switching back and forth is not really practical.

The main inksets these days are either the piezo (inkjetmall.com) or the UT set from 
inksupply.com
