Need some advice for setting up R200 for pigmented BO and B&W printing...

2005-10-30 by lfmiller422

I'm having a hard time pinning down the real-world, right-now options 
for setting up my R200 for BO and B&W printing with the pigmented 
inks. I understand that the R200 was designed for dye-based inks, but 
uses the same physical cartridge as the pigment-based C86. 

Paul Roark has talked about the MIS EZ-200 inksets, which apparently 
are not yet available...does anyone have an ETA for that?

I see that Media Street is offering archival products for the R200. 
Any thoughts or suggestions there?

Clayton Jones, in an earlier thread, mentioned that he had been using 
the Eboni ink in the R200 with good results, but I've seen no 
reference to the R200 with respect to that ink on the MIS site. 

Clayton, if you're out there, how, exactly did you set that up? Did 
you just use MIS's eboni for the C86? 

I've lost track of all the box canyons and dead-ends I've gotten into 
researching this, so in pathetic frustration I resort to this simple 
plea: Please, what part number to I actually order to make this happen?

I thank you all for your indulgence.
