Daniel Staver, who's a regular here, was passing some
rumors/information over on Photo.Net he had heard to the 
effect that some products like that might be announced at
PMA.  Keep in mind if you go quad/hex (sept?) on your 2100,
you'll have a hard time switching back to color.

You might be better off buying a dedicated 1280 for BW
if that's they route you want to go.

Also Epson has a new RIP for $200 that several people
are trying (with difficulty because it has no
documention) to evaluate, which might solve the BW
printing problem of the 2200.

PS - What's up with that?  2 people say they bought the
RIP and it had no documention.  Since when do companies sell
$200 products with no documention?  What is that, another
$200?   Is that why IP is $500 (or whatever it is) - because
it has a manual?  If tech-writing pays that well I'm switching
careers!
