My home printer is an Epson 3000 w/Generations inks. These are pigmented and
on Hahnemhule stock yield 125 years of theoretic longevity.
We use 2 others where I teach and produce the Piezo prints employing the MIS
inks. All images are really very good in quality. The 3000 is a work horse
and rather basic. There is fortunately a local authorized repair person who
does an excellent job though mine has been repaired but once for cleaning in
a couple of years.
The Piezo driver, albeit extremely slow, produces an stunning b/w image.
