Hamish,
I'm using Epson's pigment inks with the C80. With the 1200 I am using
the Generations Micro Brite inks from Media Street.
Printing with black pigment inks only, the ink does not flood and
pool on the film, and so you don't need Pictorico.
Last Summer I had good results printing with the same Arista film on
an HP printer, with HP color inks. The negatives printed well in
gum/cyanotype combinations also, though the negatives look bluish and
took a long time to dry.
Good luck and hope to read good reports from you.
