I was in the same situation and bought the Epson p600. However, for the foreseeable future I'm keeping OEM color inks in it. I need a color printer. That said, I assume the dedicated B&W inks that are available would work fine in it -- with some caveats. You might need to linearize profiles yourself. Also, I do not know about the quality of empty, refillable carts.

Hi all!
It's been a while since my last post... Life, familly and job, keep me quite away from my digital lab.
However, my old Epson SP 1400 died this week, so I need a new printer for my Eboni inks and I need your help folks... Which one should I choose? I had a quick look to Epson product line, and considering the fact that I'm on Ebony, and that I' might move to Piezo HD one day, I saw 2 potential candidates: SC-P400 and SC-P600. P600 is listed by QTR, not P400.

Thank you for your expertise and experience,
Have a good day.
