Digital BW, The Print

Alan,

Thanks that would be really interesting.

The main reason I ask is because I need a new wide format printer for 
my office. I have heard mixed reviews on the Encad line. A local 
photo lab has the one that uses 8 color inks. Their output is very 
nice.

So we are considering the Epson 10000, HP-5000, and the Encad. Being 
able to print with the Monokromes would be a plus as I could print 
B/W photos in the office as well.

I have put a call into the Encad rep, but have not heard back from 
him yet as I only called yesterday.

Thanks
Mike
