Digital BW, The Print

Hello Tom,

>I've got a friend who asked me about BW with an epson R200, so I did

MIS sells refillable carts and chip resetter that can be used to put
any ink you want into the R200.  With QTR you can then control the
inks, so you could use UT2 or UT7 or your own formula in it (and I
think another company makes a grayscale pigment set for it).  I don't
think at this point there is an MIS ink set dedicated to it (I'm sure
you'll get some more replies if I'm wrong on this).


>Also isn't the R200 a dye ink printer? and aren't the UTs pigment?

Yes and yes, but pigments seem to work fine.  I've had an R200 for a
couple of months now for BO printing with MIS Eboni and not the first
clog.  So it seems to be doing as well in that regard as other Epson
dye printers have.


>...so please tell me which inkset and whether curves or 
>QTR or what will work. (I sense that I might wind up being

Maybe some others who have used it with a full ink set can chime in
here.  I too am interested to hear what others have done with R200.

Regards,
Clayton
