Good gosh, but I heard the Epson desktops don't really have good paper 
sensors. Maybe I heard that wrong. I know that the pro printers have 
something to line up paper, or I have heard this anyway. I even had an 
1280 get confused and send the unprinted paper through and then start 
printing in the printer bed. Messy.

Anyway, this sounds like it is adaptable to the 2200/IP5 if one wanted 
to. The BW part of print would have a tad less color change under 
different lighting this way from what I hear. But it may not be 
signifigantly different from one pass RGB, not having even set up my 
2200 yet.
