Re: [Digital BW] HP black only / cheap BO/quadtone printer

2005-06-17 by Adam Maas

It's not Archival, but the Photosmart 7260 has an available (And cheap) 
Photo Grey cart for it. I've had decent luck printing B&W with this cart 
on my 7660 and HP Matte paper. I'm going to either the C86 or an R2400 
in the near future though.
