Having stumbled along for a while with an HP PhotoSmart scanner and Epson 750, I've about convinced the PR firm I work for as a writer - for whom I'm also doing photo work now - that they should spring for some serious scanning and printing equipment for me. I think what I'm getting is the SprintScan 4000 and then was thinking of the Epson 1160 with the Pieziography set up and continuous ink feed. Is this the way to go? I am doing almost all black and white work, so I assume that the Pieziography is the way...But is the 1160 satisfactory with that software and ink? Thanks for any insights.. B.
