The Epson ET-1810 was recently on sale in France (99,9€!). I decided that it was time to experiment and check if one can achieve good B&W prints with 4 shades of gray using a low cost ET-1810 and the manufacturer driver. I bought one and a friend of mine, used to ink mixing, prepared 4 shades of gray ink that I fill B/C/M/Y tanks with.
Then, a test image was printed (with a correction curve to linearize the B&W response of the printer).
Here is a scan of this print (with a low end printer/scanner Canon G4511, that is probably not the best to capture all the details of the print)
Not so bad for a 100€ printer, I think. As I am not used to printing B&W image, all your positive or negative comments on this print will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pierre.
