Digital BW, The Print

Hi Kevin,

An Epson 2400 with the K3 inks will print B/W quite well as well as 
print glossy prints without the usual problem of gloss differential and 
print matt papers well.  No need for additional 3rd party inks or RIPS 
to accomplish your aims.  The cost will be a little more than some of 
the other 13x19 printers, but there will be no need for additional 
expense.  This printer uses pigmented inks which offer more archival 
prints than the dye printers.
