RE: [Digital BW] Best printer for BW

Hello Claudio

I have both smaller Epson (R220, R800, 2100) and HP Designjet 130 printers.
I think that the Epsons are much better for B&W as the newer models have
multiple grey inks and there are a number of aftermarket ink suppliers for
them.  However there are people who swear by the Designjet printers for both
colour and black and white, the latter with a specific profile.  My attempts
at black and white printing with my Designjet have however been
disappointing (to put it mildly) but perhaps my profiles are not good
enough.

  According to you, what's better:
  Epson 4800 or HP Designjet 90 equipped with Vivera inks?

  Regards,
  Claudio

I own a DJ130 and can confirm that it is NOT a printer for black and white.
(Color on the other hand. )
