if you already have dj130, it's difficult if not impossible to convert to pigment ink (I suggest trying out the inks designed for the B9180 w/ refillable tanks), if you only need to print mostly black, then the dj110+ & the dj100 already use pigment black, however from what I know, there are positive/silk screen films (for the epson 1520/3000 variety at least) that work well with the stock dye inks with good dmax- so bottom line is if you're starting from scratch & 17" width is ok, a refurbed/reengineered is probably epson 3000 is your best bet (available in ebay). bigger than that 7500/9500.
