Digital BW, The Print

Dave,

Apparently the pure pigment inks that I prefer due to their excellent
lightfastness can only be used in Epson printers.  What I've heard is that
Epson's patented piezo-electric heads are needed to pump the higher
viscosity inks.  The higher viscosities are needed to stop the pigments from
dropping out of suspension.

Bottom line -- I think, for now, we're stuck with Epson printers for carbon
pigment B&W printing.  Luckily, they have to keep the prices competitive
with Canon and HP, so we're getting reasonable prices.

Thank you Paul.

I have never owned Epson printers,just Canon,and i did a search of the
archives and came up empty on Canon inks.
If i stay with Canon,what model or ink combo's i should be aware of.
It looks like Epson has dedicated inks for the B&W proccess,is that
correct.

Nothing against Epson,if Canon has nothing, then Epson it is.<vbg>
