Digital BW, The Print

If you haven't tried it yet, run an image or two through your C84 with the 
Epson inks and set it to Black Only printing.  I got very nice results that 
way, although I think the EZ results are even better, and offer some 
adjustment of tone from neutral to warm by the selective replacement of 
neutral with warm cartridges.  I fooled around with a set of neutral and a 
set of warm cartridges, and decided that neutral in the cyan and yellow 
positions with warm in the magenta position gave the tone I was looking 
for.  I just ordered one of the CIS units (empty - I'll have to fill the 
carts and lines the way I want them) and expect to have a very nice run of 
prints for my Christmas books this year.  Consideration is being given to 
getting a second printer - just to have as a backup in case disaster 
strikes at an inopportune time.  Wish I'd known enough to buy two when I 
got the first one (for $24) a month or so ago.

Enjoy the C84.  I think it's a dandy little device.

Cheers,
Kip
