Digital BW, The Print

With respect to paper handling, one odd characteristic of my 1400 is that I cannot pre-load a sheet of paper.  It just shoots the paper straight through the printer.  I'm not sure if this is true of all 1400's or just mine.

Note also that, like the 1800, the 1400 is a 1.5 pl printer.  

Additionally, with respect to pigments, my understanding is that virtually all modern inkjet pigments use electrostatic charges on them to keep the particles from flocculating (clumping/agglomerating).  Even matte pigments are "coated" with the chemicals needed to accomplish this.  I experimented (unsuccessfully) with adding steric dispersion; HP may be unique in successfully combining the 2 methods with its z3100 pigment coating.
