When you say you use the pigmented inks from Epson, do you mean
something other than the cartridge you buy for the 2000P at a regular
computer store like CompUSA? If so, where do you get them? I tried
to make a black and white print on the Epson 2000 with a cartridge I
bought for it at CompUSA, and the print had a sort of cyan cast to
it. I scanned it in RGB and printed it with all six colors. I guess
I just need to tinker with it to get the gray right, huh?
Despite the cyan cast, I too was very impressed with the quality of
the print and plan to make a bunch more this weekend.
I love this printer too, but I wish you could get Cone inks for it.
Also, I don't like the vertical banding I get on Pictorico film.
