Digital BW, The Print

I have a question about the Epson 1400 with the eboni pigment ink. Does this combination offer B&W of more quality that other more professional printers like the Epson r2880 or Epson 3880?

On the other hand, has the Epson 1400 many head clogs with this pigment ink?

Kind regards
