Digital BW, The Print

Been there, but with the 2000P. After that fiasco I've
been afraid to try the 2200. BO has dots that drive me
crazy. My clients weren't thrilled with it either.
Right now I'm running 3 1280 printers from my PC. One
with the Piezo driver and original inks that I now
have to buy from Sundance. But they give me no trouble
and make beautiful prints. The second 1280 I use with
MIS VMS ink with Roark's and Kreb's curves. I tried
the Cone Carbon Sepia ink but there's nothing remotely
sepia about them. And my 3rd 1280 is making color
prints and doing my other general printing. I say go
for the MIS setup, it's relatively inexpensive and I
was making sepia prints in less than 2 hours. I would
never think of giving up my 1280s.
