Digital BW, The Print

I am trying my 2000P as a black only printer. I have been very happy 
with some of the results and very unhappy with others.
It seems to be very dependent on the paper as to how I like it.
I have done a side by side comparison with a 1280 and my 2000P using 
the same digi file and I liked the 2000P better.
BTW I saw that epson is selling referbished 2000P for just under $300
I hope this helps
