Re: Quick Question on BO printing on Epson 4000

2006-01-04 by sloth4189

Steve (and Michael):

Thanks for that info.
On the other side of the coin, when printing color on the 4000 using 
the stock Epson (WinXP) driver, are only the color inks used or are 
the black inks used as well, and if so, how does the MIS Eboni ink 
mix with the standard Epson UltraChromes ?

Thanks again.
