Re: [Digital BW] Epson vs HP for fine art bw???

Mike,

thanks for that comparative report. I hadn't thought of the paper path 
difference.
Regarding the inks: What's to stop one from using them in the Epson if they 
are indeed superior - or are they?  Are LF different than UV (that were used in 
this exhibit with incredible archival claims)?
