Digital BW, The Print

George,

A modern dedicated B&W inkset will give smoother and more lighfast results
than the Epson Archival black ink.  Compared to MIS Eboni black, PiezoTone
Museum black, and Epson UltraChrome black, the Epson Archival black is not
very archival according to my fade testing.  There has been significant
progress since that inkset was made.

I'll be taking a shot at putting a monotone MIS FS (warm) or FSN
(neutral-cool) inkset on a 2000p as early as next week.  I'll let people
know how it goes.  

If there is enough demand and the printer works well with that, I may see
how the MIS Ultra Tone 2 or 7 (variable tone inkset for the 1280 and 2200,
respectively) do on the 2000p.  Being that it is an old and very slow
printer, I'm just not sure how many would be interested.  On the other hand,
if there are lots of them sitting around, it might be a very affordable way
to get into digital B&W printing.

Subject: [Digital BW] I'm new here

Hi,
  I have been a professional photographer for over 45 years. I have 
just begun to scan and print some of my thousands of bxw negitives 
and make digital prints. I am using a Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 and 
printing on a Epson 2000P in BO mode on Epson papers with Epson ink. 
I have been able to get some pretty good results but I would welcome 
any advice, suggestions or criticism that any one can offer to 
improve the quality.
Thanks,
George Roos
