Digital BW, The Print

Hello;

I have been exploring digital B&W printing and have been on this list for about 5 years. 
Originally I tried several Cone inksets and several MIS inksets in both an Epson 1160 and 
Epson 1280. 80% of my time was spent with trying to figure out and resolve problems with 
clogged nozzles, bad carts, mislabeled carts, bad ink, banding , posterization, calls to tech 
support and reading every post on this list like it was the gospel for answers! For very 
short periods I was able to just make prints and focus on my photography but my problem 
free printing never lasted. I cant calculate the amount of ink, paper and time I 
wasted.

In the beginning of '06 I purchased an Epson r2400 and it has been like a gift from 
heaven! Since I first turned it on I have had 98% problem free printing in both Color and 
B&W with quality that is amazingly good. NOBODY knows how to manufacture and fill ink 
carts like Epson. I would not go back to putting 3rd part inks in my Epson printer EVER!

This has been my experience.. your mileage may vary.
