Digital BW, The Print

My feeling is that you buy a 2200 to use the Ultra Chrome inks and 
you should use them in that printer (even if they are expensive).

The 1270 should do great with VM and Roark curves, but I don't know 
how your are going use all the printers enough to keep the two 
hex/quadtone printers from clogging... I try to use my 1160 all the 
time and I have a heck of a time keeping enough ink going through 
that to avoid clogs... maybe 3 printers is too much... just a thought.
