Hi Art

I may have mistakenly described my future usage with the R220.  My 
present plans will be to only print with the MIS B&W inkset.  I will 
be 
getting the Neutral B&W set.  Perhaps later,  if things turn out 
well,  
I will get the Warm set.

I will not be using the original color ink set that came with the 
printer. However,  others have mentioned that the original 'dye' set 
that comes with the printer,  does indeed print very nicely in 
color.  
The inks that come with the R220 are not archival.  The MIS inks are 
archival,   being pigment based.

Mike
