Digital BW, The Print

Malcolm,

What size prints you want to make is an important factor.  The C86 can only
handle letter-size.  The 1290 allows wider.  (Do you still have 1160s where
you are?  That would be another option.)  The 1290 takes the UT2 and 1280
curves.  

See my index at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/ for information on a number
of the inksets I've work with.

Good luck with you printing.

Subject: [Digital BW] Which printer for B&W




I have just joined this forum and would like some advice please. I 
want to start doing some serious B&W printing and have realised that 
I need a dedicated B&W printer. I currently have an Epson 1290. If I 
get another printer, should I use the 1290 with someting like the 
MIS system and get a second colour printer or should I use the 1290 
for my colour work and get a printer such as the Epson C86 with the 
MIS EZ system? Thanks in advance.

Malcolm
