Digital BW, The Print

I would go with MIS in the black positions and stick with the Epson 
color carts.

I love the MIS EZ inks and carts in my C86. BUT, I bought the MIS 
color inks for an R800 and could never get more than 1 or 2 4x6" to 
print before there was serious banding. A good nozzle check didn't 
last long.

It was a waste of time, money, paper, and ink. 


I may end up buying an R-220 myself just to do BO printing. A shame, 
though, they don't have a cheap 13x19 printer that prints BO.
