Re: [Digital BW] New and confused

I've been using my 2200 for years now printing either black-only or using
QTR and getting wonderful results.  Both methods easy as pie. I tried the
exotic third-party ink sets and found it more a pain than it was worth for
some incremental gain mostly seen only through a loupe at 1mm viewing
distance.
