Digital BW, The Print

>... going to purchase an Epson R220 printer this week 
> to print B&W. I want to purchase MIS Inks for this purpose. ...

The first inkset to take a look at is the UT-R2, described here: 
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/R220_R2_Readme.pdf   It is essentially a
monotone approach that gives one control of tones by installing different
combinations of warm (carbon) and neutral/cool inks. 

Additionally, I have the UT-3D running on my 220.  
See http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/UT-3D_Readme.pdf  This inkset will allow
one to use the ColorVision Print Fix Pro software & spectro to profile
papers.  Then a very useful range of tones can be achieved by altering the
color balance in Photoshop, with the changes visible ("soft-proofed") on the
monitor when the ICC is used in a custom proof setup (View>Proof
setup>Custom) or in image is converted to that profile (Edit>convert to).  I
also have ICCs made with the QTR Create-ICC approach posted for a number of
papers and tones.

From what I can tell, the QC issues at MIS have been taken care of.  They
are now adjusting their LK inputs to a known standard, which solved the
problems we were having with this inkset.
