Digital BW, The Print

Hi

I'm currently using a HP B9180 but have not been too happy with the B&W printing on gloss/semi gloss paper.

I've looked at many posts on this forum over the past few days and spent quite some time on Paul Roark's website. I've read a lot of good information and advice and hopefully have absorbed some of it. (There are many areas where I'm confused but hoping things will become clearer as I get hands on experience)

I've just ordered an Epson 1400 printer from Comet (UK) currently £10 off plus 5% discount (code '5PRINT').

My next stage is to order ink, cartridges and syringes. I've looked at the MIS inks and am thinking of the UT-14 ink bottles and purchasing empty cartriges & syringes from the same site.

I've also read on Paul Roark's site about the HP Z3100 Vivera PK ink(which I understand is probably the same ink as in my B9180). Would using this ink be a better option than using the UT-14 inkset or as a newbie to this area more likely to cause me a big headache?
