Digital BW, The Print

Hi Richard,

Thank you very much for your response.  It seems that you have experience using the 2200 with BO using  MIS Eboni Black or Epson Matte. I played just a little with my 2200 using the Epson Matte, and finally I have decided to use my new 1400 as a dedicated B&W printer. For starters, I will buy and use the UT-14. After I feel comfortable using that inkset I'll see if I move the the Ebony-6.  Let me know how it works out with your new printer and the Ebony-6 inks. 

I'm glad that you also shared your happiness using Alise Museum Natural. I was thinking of buying some other papers. I have had the Epson Enhance Matte Paper for a while, and wanted to try some of the new papers in the market. Maybe, I buy a packet and try it. 

How did you printed with BO on the 2200 using the MIS Eboni Black? you insert this cartridge in first slot, and leave the color ones in place? Do you use MIS color inks? How does it work?

 Regards from Sacramento,

Jorge

Hi Jorge,

I'm in the same boat as you.  Been using a 2200 for years printing BO with
either MIS Eboni Black or Epson Matte.  Used to be more active on this list,
but been more of a lurker for the last 2-3 years.

After chatting with Clayton, emailing with Paul, and reading a number of
threads here I ordered from Atlex an Epson 1400 and some Alise Museum
Natural about a week ago.  Paper has arrived but the printer was slightly
back-ordered (It's expected to arrive on Monday or Tuesday).  I decided to
go with the Eboni-6 cart set finally finding the link to buy such with
Paul's help.  Seems it's a "special order" item and that will not ship until
next week per the people at MIS.  I thought to go the UT-14 route but I've
used curves with QTR in the past and mostly want my B&W prints to have the
best archival nature I can get.  Plus I like slightly warm prints which
bodes well for me with Eboni-6.

Won't be printing until the new printer and the carts arrive next week but
have been trying the Alise Natural on my 2200 with BO printing using Epson
Photo Matte ink it's a beautiful paper.
