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

Antonis,

I don't know if the inks are compatible. I think the HP print prcess uses
heat to set up the inks. I asked my dealer and she did state that they are
different. Next time I speak with her I will ask again, but for specifics.

I was looking at the HP site yesterday and noticed that they have a couple
of photo quality desktop printers. I would like to see how their quality
compares to Epson using watercolor papers. I might have to take a could
sheets of H. Photo Rag to Office Depot and give it a run.

Mike
