Digital BW, The Print

Dear James,

I appreciated your articles on fine art of B&W digital printing. I 
have, however, many doubts concerning the compatibility between 
printers and inks. You clarify very well all the aspects of Black 
Only printing referred to the Epson 2200 printer, but what about the 
1290 printer that I use for Color and B&W works enhanced with 
Photoshop?

May I get pigment inks directly from Epson for this printer?
Are the new MIS GP inks surely compatible with it?
Any tips about the color fine art?
Where to find, if necessary, new drivers to use pigment inks and 
papers ?

Many thanks, Emiliano
