Re: New to B&W Printing - Dedicated Ink Sets and B&W Workflow Questions

2007-07-17 by Kevin

I can only share with you what I know first-hand and that is that I 
got the best results from my 1280 using MIS "Eboni Black" ink, 
choosing "Black Ink Only" from the 1280 driver. I used an MIS base 
stock cartridge in the color slot. Very economical with sensational 
results. The only other machine I've used is the newer 2400, and the 
B&W prints I've got from it DO NOT match those from the 1280, Black 
Only. I really regret getting rid of the 1280. Since you have it I 
would try Black Only. Cost is absolute minimum. 

I got started with Black Only printing following Clayton's advice:
