Re: Printing Grayscale Prints with the Epson 2200

Thanks Ann and Jeff. I guess I will go ahead now and get that 2200 (I
was still waiting for a small version of the 4000 'cause of it's bigger
tanks and 8 inks (the two blacks simultaneously), but that may take
ages...).
I recently received a very nice looking test print from Piezography, but
it's expensive. So, why not give the RIP a try at no cost. With your
experience, have you noticed anything noteworthy about the longevity of UC?
