Digital BW, The Print

I went to an Apple imaging seminar this week and saw a 2200, and 2200 output
for the first time.  The color output on matte papers was nice...but I don't
imagine any better than one could get with a 3rd party color ink set that
was profiled with a RIP.  The black and white output was much better than
what I was able to get with 6 color printers in the past...but I would take
my quad prints any day...but its difficult to say for sure because I was
just looking at some else's prints.  The biggest problem at this point is
that the 2200 inks are the price of gold and that the paper settings may or
may not work with a diversity of different non-epson papers.

As far as 3rd party solutions go...it looks like a CIS would be possible if
someone cracks the chip and writes a driver for the thing...but I'm guessing
that is at least a year away.
