Digital BW, The Print

Thank you Paul,

I will take your advice and buy the MIS eboni black and photo black 
cartridges seperatly and swap them back and forth.  I really want my 
black & white prints to look outstanding.  I am using an Epson C86 
and this is my first attempt at printing B&W using MIS inks. What 
papers would you recommed for B&W photos on this printer?  I am 
looking for quality, not economy.

Thanks again for your prompt reply. Your contributions to this forum 
are very much appriciated.

Chris
