Digital BW, The Print

Scott I'm only using it in color at this time I don't have my Epson
890 set up for MIS UT-2 inkset yet. I figured I would burn up the
factory ink on color stuff first get some back log printed and learn a
bit about all my new toys at the same time then tackle B&W

Mark W.

It has beautiful color in every way I can think of My next door
Nieghbor is a profesional printer for a school package lab and she was
very impressed when I showed her. She only does there high end optical
enlargement printing has for about 10 years now.
