Digital BW, The Print

Khaled,

I'm sure there is a good B&W solution for the R800.  MIS does sell a matte
black for it (see http://www.inksupply.com/r800ink_org.cfm), but I'm not
sure if it is Eboni.  (I suspect it is.)

If 8x10, A4 is all you need, a C86 (or similar) with MIS EZ inks or R200
with UT2 may be a way to go that is affordable.
