Re: [Digital BW] 1 color , 1 B/W printer, Epson 1280, 2200 which set up is best

Marc,

At the moment there are no grayscale inks available for the 2200 and there
will not be (unless Epson does them) until the cartridge chips have been
reverse engineered and/or chip resetters designed. I suspect that the wait
for chips will be much shorter than wait was for the 1280. So your  best bet
would be to put gray inks in the 1280 and use the 2200 for color and B&W
perhaps.
