Digital BW, The Print

Hi Kip,

at $90 might as well go to $107 and get the 1100, no? If I understand Paul correctly, that could be used with straight up EZ inks, or with the more recent K2-Quad. Not sure exactly the benefit of the newer setup... still have to reread those PDFs a few times!

Can't wait to get printing!
