Digital BW, The Print

Hello, Eddie. thanks for your info. i have two epson
1280 printers and plan to dedicate one of them solely
to B&W. 

i was hoping to learn how to produce b/w photos using
oem epson ink to reduce the learning curve when i make
the switch to UT-2 ink. 

i just may make the switch sooner than later.
