RE: [Digital BW] Re: HP7960/7660 Printers for B/W ?

2004-01-16 by JimD

Well, the ink drinking tendencies do give me something to consider.
I'm pretty fond of Atlex as a consumables supplier but they don't show
the grey cartridge on their site and their prices for the other
HP cartridges aren't a bunch better than what HP offers them for.

I'm still seriously considering the 7660 as a printer to dedicate to
BW. B&H list it at ~ USD $150.  When I'm delirious I consider
getting an Epson 1280 to dedicate to BW  but I'd  really like to
get out of the 'science fair' mode for printing BW.

It would be excellent if Epson could come up with 'out-of-box' BW
in their next generation photo printers but that seems a fond hope.

Thanks,
JimD
