Re: [Digital BW] B&W printing on an Epson Photo Stylus 925

2005-11-27 by Vince

Hi Paul... thanks for your reply (and great web site, BTW!)

Yeah, I'm starting to think along the lines of "replacement" as
well... probably makes sense to have a dedicated B&W anyways so that
I'm not always flushing inks etc.

Given all the options would the R220 be your choice (assuming I'm not
made of money !)
