Digital BW, The Print

> John, my recommendation would be to get the UT-7 ink set and go to work using the Epson driver. ....  I haven't tried QTR, but if you are planning to use your 2200 for both BW and color printing, that may be the way to go.  If you do a lot of printing, a dedicated BW printer makes sense.  The 1400 is pretty inexpensive.

Yeah, one of these two options seems to be the way to go.  As cheap as the
printers are getting (e.g the Epson 1400), at least in comparison to the cost
of ink, it's real tempting to go with a 1400 as dedicated B&W and keep my
2200 for color.   But I don't really have the space and it seems slightly
silly unless I get way more committed.

So, the question becomes, is the superiority of UT7 (with either Epson or QTR),
as opposed to QTR w/ UltraChrome, sufficient to justify the hassle of changing
cartridge sets when I want to switch between color and B&W ?   I don't think
I'd be switching very often, but still, if the difference is barely perceptible (between
UT7 and UltraChrome), why bother ?   The interest here in exploring these UT inks
seems to suggest that it's NOT "barely perceptible", although some respondents
to my question seem to be hinting that it is.
