Digital BW, The Print

Chuck, I converted my Epson 4000 several weeks ago to a new
pigment-based variable-tone b&w ink set (not Piezotones). The
change-over process was a chore -- it's not easy to get the color inks
out of that printer. 

But as soon as that was done, I was rewarded with stunning b&w prints. I
have not had a single clog or any other problem.

The inks, by the way, are Media Street's new Generations QuadBlack inks,
just announced at PMA in Orlando. Here is a link to their press release:

These should be available shortly from Media Street. I have
pre-production samples, since I designed the inks for them. The ink set
incorporates both photo and matte blacks, and also a surface optimizer
polymer that eliminates bronzing when printing on RC papers.
