Digital BW, The Print

I believe the consensus is that the Canon heads require inks that are too 
thin to keep pigments properly suspended in the medium during the life of a 
cartridge (or something like that.)  In any case, I've never heard of 
anyone offering pigments for the S900/9000 printers, or for other Canons 
that use the same print head.  I do note that the low end Canon photo 
printers (560, 860) apparently use a special pigmented black ink to get 
better looking text output, but a look at the specifications on those 
printers shows what appears to be a lower resolution for black than for the 
color inks, which are the same BCI-6 inks as the S9000 uses.

AFAIK, if you want to use pigments, Epson printers are the only choice at 
the moment.

Cheers,
Kip
