Re: [Digital BW] Best method for printing b&w.

2002-01-11 by Jerry Olson

I would think, if a dye black ink were put down on the paper along with
5 other shades of PIGment blacks and grays, that the pigments would hold
it in line a bit, and that it wouldn't fade so fast.  But is the epson
black dye available in 4 ounce cartridges or larger, so it could be
decanted into a 4 ounce bottle?
