Lots of people, including the OEM materials in Epson printers like the 2200 and the R-800. If you start into the area of third-party inks and papers, be prepared to actually learn to understand color management, and invest in some custom profiles (or the software and hardware to make your own profiles). Three years ago that was definitely the way to go. Today, unless you're unsatisfied with what you can do with the Epson Ultrachrome materials, I'd start there rather than branching out. I've used the Generations Micro-Bright pigmented inks with my Epson 1200 (now looking at least partially deceased, sigh). Lysonic has also made a number of inksets. I'm sure there are others out there as well. (And then there are a number of specialized sets for making B&W prints, too). -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://noguns-nomoney.com/> <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/> <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
