It's a wonderful look. I'm doing BO with a C86 and the Epson OEM ink
(warm pigment for that printer) and loving it.

I've been following the discussions regarding BO printing over on the

thought I'd give it a try.
Epson Canada are currently selling R220's for the same price as a
set of ink cartidges. Since I already have an R300, which can use the
same cartridges, the printer is basically free.
I ordered some Eboni Black (neutral) ink from MIS Associates
http://www.inksupply.com/utr2.cfm .
The printer and ink both arrived today and I just ran off my
first couple of prints on Epson Enhanced Matte paper using only
the Eboni black ink.
To my eyes they look good. The greenish tint I was getting with
Epson black ink (dye-based) has gone. The prints seem to very neutral
in colour, but seem to have a nice wide range of tones.
This is using black ink only, not the full set that MIS also sell.
If you would like to learn more take a look at Clayton Jones'
