Re: BW with Epson 875

2005-02-03 by mhjackson2001

Thanks for the reply.
I am new to black and white and need some help with terminology/setup:

If I want to use the 875 as a black and white printer, am I best 
advised to load it with blank inks as supplied by MIS? Is this what 
you mean by BO?

I am not sure what the difference is between Quad and BO...
Can you suggest a starter set up to get me printing with the 875? 
What cartridges and accessories should I get so as to refill my own 
system?

BTW, is there a black and white printing FAQ out there?
