Ok, Did not see too much on this subject with searching. I have an old hp photo printer. I think the 1100 photosmart. I know that their old black ink was pigment based and color was dye or flip flop that. So their black and white pictures tended to have a purple haze. I am in the market for a new printer. Would love a wide format printer, but have spent way too much money recently and can't afford one of those.
When I worked at circuit city I always thought the canon photo printers were junk and always heard Epson were great printers. Now this is going on 5 years ago. What is the best printers for b&w prints. I used to develop black and white photos by hand and this tends to be my favorite format. Now, don't get me wrong, I do want a really good color print too. I will probably do allot more color prints in all reality. But, when I convert some pictures to b&w, I want to get the best prints possible.
I am not looking to get too expensive. I also like printers that have different ink cartridges for each color, not one cartridge that have all colors in it.
