Digital BW, The Print

Yea, the 3000 is in perfect working condition.
It was actually in a yard sale the  day before with a $15 tag on it. I
saw it, stopped, saw the guy who was putting it out and he said take
it. So I did. Had ink in it that was almost 4 years old. I was like
crap. But to my surprise no clogs, nothing. Works.

I have 3rd party replacement dye ink in it now, but I'm left to wonder
what I can do with it and how I can make the most use out of it.

I imagine due to the resolution, it's only going to be best suited for
my graphic design proofs, and maybe some large prints where you aren't
close up enough to see the dots.

Does anyone still use a 3000 for fine art/photographic prints for
display??

Any advice on those curves, inks, etc. would be great. Thanks.
