Digital BW, The Print

If I can't get decent selenium-toned prints from pigment inks, are 
there any dye inksets out there with decent longevity potential. 
Thank you.

you will ever get a print to look like that of a dye ink set.  I 
switched from epson oem carts to a CIS with MIS pigs, color inkset, 
and never got what I consider to be a satisfying b&w print.  Either 
abrupt tonal gradations of posterization, there was always a 
problem.  I wasted a couple hundred sheets of paper trying to make it 
work, but was unable.  I switched back to MIS color dyes with the 
CIS, and have been printing beautiful b&w images without any 
disapointment.

As CDTobie said to me when he made my profiles, some pigment ink & 
paper combinations can only do so much, don't expect it to look like 
the oem carts with dyes.
