Digital BW, The Print

Barry,

No, I have not tried printing with a 2200.  The "B&W" test strip that I have
is not what I'd call good B&W.  However, from what I've hear, if a good
profile is generated for the machine, whether by their European "gray
balancer" or otherwise, the B&W prints look very good.  The ink's stability
is probably good enough to satisfy many printers.  I think it will still
drift over the long haul, however.

Between the price difference for the average user, and the long-term
stability for the high-end sales, I think "quads" are fairly safe for a
while.

  Paul,
  Have you tried printing on a 2200 in B/W yet?
