Digital BW, The Print

John,

The MIS UT2 inkset for the 1280 can print from grayscale files, and no real
workflow at all is needed.  The sliders can make some tone adjustments, and,
of course, at least a 720 resolution is needed for good quality. 

Pre-filled carts are probably the easiest way to go.  Bulk ink is cheaper,
of course.

Even though longevity is not a primary issue, it might be nice to know that
family or other significant photos should still be in very good shape for
generations.

Good luck.

Subject: [Digital BW] Easy B&W print

I would like to print decent black and white photos. I know I will 
need to do this with a dedicated BW printer. I plan to purchase an 
Epson 1280 for this, because I can at least print Black Only with it. 
I have a Canon 9000 now and it makes really great color but not very 
good black and white. They have a color tint depending on the paper. 
I usually use Red River paper. I like the Canon for ease of refilling 
ink cartridges. I can do that without taking them out of the printer.

I use Paint Shop Pro, and Qimage.

What ink would be the easiest - just stick in cartridges and print 
decent black and white prints. I also want to refill my ink 
cartridges.

I have many hundreds of old black/white negatives from a long time 
ago I would like to print. They don't have to be museum quality and 
they don't have to last for a hundred years. I have maybe a year to 
enjoy them. I don't want to spend my remaining time being a techno 
about this, I just want to make decent black and white prints from my 
negatives, not somthing with a greenish tint like I get now with my 
color printer.

What will I get the best results from, with the least amount of time 
and effort put into it?  Lyson Quad Black, MIS, what??

Appreciate your advice.

Thanks -  John
