Not that I'm aware of.  However, the silver idea -- like B&W Magazine -- has
been raised before.  I'll see if I can find an appropriate pigment.  We
could do that if there is a pigment that'll stay suspended.  (Silver itself
has too high a specific gravity.)

The best value for 8.5" wide paper is the C86 with MIS EZ inks.  The best
for 13" paper and overall is the 2200.  This you can use the OEM inks with a
rip or go with the B&W MIS UT7 and either the Epson driver or a rip.
