Judy, I'm using the Epson 1520 with the MIS Associates Quad tone inkset
(product Quad800-4). They can be reached on http://www.missupply.com or
1-800-445-8296.
As an aside to all of this, I am considering adding a little brown/sepia
water color to one of the cartridges to give it the slightest hint of
toning. I would benefit from this when producing positive images - like
handouts for galleries. I am concerned about messing up something that's
working well at the moment - you know, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Appreciate anyone's insight.
Many Thanks,
Nick
