Re: [Digital BW] C84/C86 & EZB&W.

To Lee:  in this part of your message (see quote below), I got 
confused. What is different about the inks you're using compared to the 
EZ-Warm set the MIS sells ?

To All: The only thing I wasn't sure of with either EZ set was whether 
that second ink is pure carbon pigment like the black ink in the set.

The C84 or C86 with EZ-warm carbon inks is one of the things I'm 
planning to buy for dedicated B&W on watercolor type paper. I'm still 
not settled on a color printer yet. Small though it is (up to 8.5x11 - 
I can't find anything equivalent to it for b&w  elsewhere - I wish the 
manufacturers would release these various excellent small printers in 
larger format very soon.

Thanks all,
-Lynn
