Digital BW, The Print

David, thanks. Am really wondering if there are any Aperture/Nik/Epson OEM ink users in 
this group. I do not like the results I am getting using Epson inks in my 2200. Am looking 
for more information before taking the plunge into converting this 2200 into a black ink  
only printer.
