Digital BW, The Print

Another vote for the C86 and MIS EZ inks. Works like a charm
using Paul's slider settings and a pretty wide variety of papers.
Great OBE (Out of the Box Experience).

I also have a 2200 which I use BO with Kayenta and QTR
with EEM (I'll give EPSG a whirl once my MK cartridge runs
out - I have high hopes there).

But generally, the C86 and Kirkland paper get's most of my
printing time these days. It's cheap, very easy and the results
are pretty darned good.
