BUT, no good for B&W. On most papers I find you get either a bluish green or a magenta tone. I am thinking of going the Quadtone black inks route, but that is starting to get too complicated - may be easier to go back to the darkroom! My feelings and reasons for using them are that these printers provide great convenience. I just tried some Ilford paper in the hopes that would help, but even worse for B&W. Quite good for colour, similar to the Kodak paper. I am going to try the Konica QP paper on Tina's recommendation. She is, I think, using it to print B&W from a 1200 or EX? and says she finds it very good. Had a hard time finding someone in Canada who stocks it though. I think a number of the computer wholesalers do in the US. I can dig out some listings if you want.
