Re: [Digital BW] A simple answer for R220 B&W printing?

2006-02-09 by Steve Dewing

Thanks the quick answer Tom and Bob. Right after I posted I found the
info I should have found earlier. I went ahead and ordered a set of
UT-R2 ink cartridges from MIS. I'm gonna get a new printer since I
believe they are $50 after rebate this week. I'm doing so much
printing in both color and B&W that I don't want to switch between.
It's just a matter of finding more desk space....

Bob, you mentioned that the Epson inks for this printer were
dye-based. Any idea on the longevity? As a test yesterday I tried out
some generic paper (I think it was PrintWorx?) in the 5x7 size. The
prints came out so wet but when they dried I couldn't believe how rich
the colors were. I wanna sell the prints as is....but don't know how
long they will last. I'll try to Epson 5x7 and I'm guessing I'll get
the most longevity with their paper??

I was using an Epson Stylus Photo 825. Is that dye or pigment?

Thanks again.

Steve
