Digital BW, The Print

If a new printer is an option, the Epsons with stock K3 inks (three blacks instead of the 2200's two) are very good. I have a 3800 and strongly recommend it.

Over the years I've messed around with two b/w-only inksets. Unquestionably, they produce my preferred prints. But each demanded tolerance for headaches and tinkering that reasonable people might consider unnecessary, given the state of the art in off-the-shelf options like the 3800. Today, I use the 2200 with Piezography for smaller prints, and the 3800 for larger. Tomorrow, who knows?

Good luck!
