Re: [Digital BW] HP Vivera pigments

Might be able to? I've had three old Epsons, including a killer mono
10K with them running with Piezography and QTR and Studio Print for
years. I'm going add a 9600 after the holidays for special mixes. You
buy these inks in bottle form and use funnel fill carts and they are
amazing and even in Epson printers they don't clog at all. As much as
I like the Vivera inks, for matte papers the K7 is way more beautiful
and subtle tonalities, and available in many hues now. I don't see
anything that touches it.
