Re: [Digital BW] B&W printing with HP printers

2006-01-30 by sonrisenc

I have used Epson matte papers in my Desklet 3820, a CMYK printer, 
with very good results. I made several stunning prints a year ago 
that show no signs of fading. I just want to make prints larger than 
8x10! I suppose I should be able to get similar results using the 
9800 tri-color and pigment black ink carts. But I also plan to 
experiment with Epson-compatible pigmented inks, i.e. the MIS 
hextones, in my 9800 carts.

HP glossy and semi-gloss are excellent.  If you prefer true matt 
papers, look elsewhere (i.e., Epson).
