Re: A printer for B&W: options?

2004-04-26 by Ramin

I read your article on BO method in your website. I am not sure if i 
understand correctly that in BO method: 
1- One keeps color inks in the printer. However there is an option 
in epson 2200 and 12880 printers set-up to use only balck ink 
cartridge. When printing b&w photos, one uses this option so that 
the color inks are not used? 
  If this is the case, is it possible to use the epson“s own black 
ink and cartridge or one has to replace this with MIS ink and 
cartridge? 
Or perhaps in BO method, one 
2- removes the color inks and replace them all with balck only 
filled cartridges? 
   
Best regards, Ramin
