Digital BW, The Print

Until my experience with the Epson R220, I too might have been inclined to
recommend purchasing only printers designed for pigments.  However, the 220
(dye printer) has been about as good as it gets.  So, it may be that the
newer technology used in the Epson dye printers is good enough for pigments.

When I was using a 1200 with MIS UT inks it clogged constantly and when
changed back to the oem inks was fine.

So my conclusion is that, if one wants to use third party pigment inks it is
best to stick to a printer that is designed for pigment inks, such as the
2100/2200, which you might pick up cheap second-hand. Which I might add,
does pretty good BW with oem inks plus QTR.

Just my experience, for what it's worth.
