Digital BW, The Print

Take a read through this forum's posts over the last few days, particularly
the discussion re the Epson R220 and Paul Roark's "Latest B&W Ink Set".  It
doesn't get much cheaper than that - circa $100.  At the other end of the
scale there is the Epson 2400 which produces superb B&W (and colour) out of
the box.  I just noticed that you're in the UK...well I'm sure you can hunt
down local pricing (less than £60 incl delivery for the R220 and £520 for
the R2400).  Getting MIS ink sets sent over here is a pretty easy process.

Come back with any further questions.
