Digital BW, The Print

The best way to solve the problems of B&W printing are to buy an Epson 2400
or a cheaper Epson and a dedicated B&W inkset.  B&W print with a pure color
inkset is next to hopeless in my experience.  The B&W approaches I've worked
with recently are listed at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/index.htm.  They
are all MIS ink and Epson printer based.
