Black & white prints from Epson 870

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

I print scanned photos in both b/w and color and am interested in archival quality. Reviews of the new Epson 2000P give it high marks for color but not for b/w. My Epson 900 gives good b/w when it prints with 4 colors, not just black ink. The Epson 870 and 1270 claim long print life but not as long as the 2000P. Does anyone have experience printing b/w photos with the 870?

I'm quite pleased with the results from the 870. I use Epson's "Matte Paper-Heavyweight" and also print with full color rather than black. Epson states a print life of approx. 25 years with the matte paper...when framed under glass.
