After private emails with Fred, i'v pretty much talked myself into
trying an Epson printer.The R220 seems adaqate for B&W prints with
3rd party black ink(s). More so than my Canon which displays the
green tint Fred mentioned he had, and sems to have gone in the R220.
Just wondering if anyone is using this printer as a sales printer
and if they are happy with it and the customers. My Canons are
supposed to be 25 year archival,so i'm wondering about the R220. An
articale Fred sent said 22 years.
I get faint, barely visible fine scratch ,marks on my Canon
papaers(most likly from horse dirt) and i want to get a new printer,
and one that does decent B&W to replace the S800.
The price is cheap, just wondering if the prints will be over time.

Dave,
Checkout the DigitalBWThePrint group over on Yahoo groups. I'm pretty
sure there's a couple people using an R220 with the MIS inks for
production purposes over there. Quality is apparently equal to the
R2400.
I forgot i was a member. So long ago.lol
I did drop in for a relook.
Notre also that 22 year number is for the Epson Dye inks, for the MIS
BW inks it's significantly longr, as they're primarily pigment
(Provided you use acid-free paper)
Ok, so not far off on the Canon. But, i do like the output from the
Canon on the Epson Photo glossy papers.
I think i;ll get it.
