RE: [Digital BW] Epson 220

Art,

Get the 220.  I have been using mine for about three months, with MIS 
inkset.  Stunning black and white, which is only what I use it for.  I never 
thought digital could equal darkroom.  Well, I was wrong.

I am considering another 220, one for color and one for black and white.  Or 
maybe one for glossy and one for matte, or maybe three.  At that price, I 
don't see how a person could go wrong, unless you need larger than 8.5x11.
