Agreed. Inkjets for B&W have not provided me B&W prints I, or anybody
else
in this thread, would be satisfied with.

Lots of people claim to be happy with the Epson 2400, while others claim
improvements by using dedicated inks.

The experience here is that even the R800 produces very nice B&W
prints*.

I have a Canon i9900 which does just fine for color, but is very hit
and miss when it comes to B&W.
I just could not justify the cost of replacing it right now, based on
its poor B&W performance.


Yes that's my problem, and the local print places I tried a while back were
underwhelming.


...and from time to time I get what amounts to a magnificent accident.

Agreed. Ultimately it is always the photographer.

Not so. Sure you can't make a good print from a bad photo, but you CAN make
a bad print from a good photo.
