Digital BW, The Print

I can't speak to the 2200 but I have used the original 1200 I bought
for over 9 years now. It has never seen OEM inks. I've used all manner
of third party inks in it including both color and black. These
include G4s, Mis Archival and Pro, Mis original Quads, Pantone color
inks, Mis VM and VMS quads, Mis DD black, Eboni, Mis UT series
quad/hextone inks and last but not least, all sorts of self mixed
dilutions and combinations of these as experimental ink sets. The
machine is not even  close to being ready for the garbage heap. As I
write this it is turning out a series of experimental quad/sepia split
tone prints that are akin to lith prints. I have a 3000 and a 7000
that have had similar use as well.

As in all of what we do with this technology, it has a good deal more
to do with thoughtful application and care than it does with risk.

Regards
Duane
