Digital BW, The Print

Hi,

As a R1800 owner I can test them in an Efillink CIS (I prefer), or
cartridges (if you prefer).
I'm not satisfied with R1800 result in black and white, event with PFP
2.0 so I was about to switch to gray inks set.

As a first comment, I can say that fiding b&w inks is a bit (a lot in
fact) difficult here, in france, so it would be great to test inks
from europe (if I correctly found where image-alchemy.com is from).


Best Regards,
Florent
