Digital BW, The Print

Hello Douglas,

I have a R200 and just bought a C86, for color printing the R200 
using dye-ink have very beautifully print-out that can compare or 
better than color lab.

For C86, it have only four color and it's pigment ink. As pigment ink 
do not have wider gammut BUT with 7 or 8 inkset (like 2100 and R800) 
that different story.

I bought the C86 just for B&W only.... as for Costco glossy I let 
others to reply cos' we don't have Costco here that why I am looking 
for the Co. that made them as so I can buy them easily.
