Digital BW, The Print

Micheal, Which epson dye, the one that comes with the 1280 printer?  I'm
going to try the MIS black Dye ink.

You can't get epson in bulk, and I'd never go back to cartridges.

I haven't seen the original 1280 inks fade, not even in 3 months of
sunlight window torture, but that is just too expensive. Need bulk inks!
