Before I got my 2100 I used an 1160 and MIS UT inks with Pauls 
curves. The results were very good. However I did find I had a few 
clog issues. Nothing very bad but I found I had to do regular nozzle 
cleans. I bought the 2100 because I wanted to do colour and have a go 
at BO printing. Claytons BO method with Eboni ink and OEM coloured 
inks is a cheap way to start B&W printing. If you do not like the BO 
print, then Roy's QTR is free to try and a bargain to buy at $50. I 
used QTR with OEM inks and the prints are very good. I'm now using 
the Bowhaus RIP OPM/IJC, only because I perfer the GUI. The point 
about using either QTR or OPM/IJC is that there is no need to swop 
inks. The RIPs partition the inks so that you get metamerism few B&W 
prints, which is simply not possible if you use all the inks through 
the Epson driver. A neat solution if you want to print colour and B&W 
from the same printer.

If you want to swop ink sets then check with MIS if the two are 
compatible, and are self sealing like the Epson carts.

Hope this helps.
