Digital BW, The Print

I'm glad to see that there's life left for the Epson 2000P, the 
printer everyone loves to hate. Now that the 2200 is out, we should 
see a glut of 2000P's on Ebay for less than $400.

What I don't understand is why the 1280 was so popular for BW 
printing. It seems to me that with the variable droplet technolory in 
the 2000P, along with the fact that it was DESIGNED to squirt 
PIGMENTS from the getgo, we would all have a whole lot less clogging 
issues and cleaner laydown of pigments in the process.

I agree with Paul on the incompatibilities of "E" hex inks against 
the other quad inksets which will work with the Cone or Epson 
drivers. 

However, since Cone's driver doesn't support the 2000P as a Quad 
printer, we have not choice but to go the "E" route anyhow on the 
2000P. If it does work as well as a few people here have said, we 
gain the benefit of using Qimage Pro riding on top of the Epson 
driver and make an "overnight production" machine out the 2000P anc 
cut roll stock of EAM. Exporting one print at a time is a vacuous 
proposition for those who want to cue up 50-ix10's and go home.
