R1800 with K7 inks

R1800 with K7 inks

2006-09-12 by skippy13312000

Anyone out there had any experience with a setup like this?

I just happen to have access to an R1800 right now from a friend who 
moved to japan for a year and I like black and white printing.  But as 
we all know this printer is kinda BLAH when it comes to black and white 
so I was wondering about this option.

Thanks for any help.

that's is exactly the setup i use and it works beautifully.  the only issue that remains for me is 
making images that are worth printing since i can't blame the printer for mediocre b+w 
printing qualities!

I'm using the R800 (which I believe uses the same printhead and cartridges)
with Neutral K7 inks and I've been very impressed with the quality it
delivers.  The only downsides are that you are limited to matt paper and the
tone of the inkset is fixed unless you change cartridges.
