Re: [Digital BW] 1100 & 1400 for Two Printer, Gloss and Matte Set Up

2011-11-10 by johnny999_99

Hello Eddie,

I am pretty good on the basic economics here.  For me, the 1400 will cost about $140 more than the 1100 at the moment (I am in Canada but can order the 1100 and pick it up in the US), and a recent post from Paul said, in part, "the 1100 can make the most neutral 100% carbon print that can be made", so I wanted to gain more insight into the options.  At MIS prices, $140 buys a fair bit of ink.

And please, call me "John".

Thanks

John
