You are correct.

Am I correct that with a 2200 and some additional software (a RIP) 
that I can get reasonable B&W prints with Epson inks?  I do not print 
frequently (3 or 4 prints a week on average) and the clogs, clots and 
cleaning cycles are driving me nuts.  I do this for fun and, at least 
tonight, it is not.  I am very pleased with what I am doing not and 
if I could get prints that are equal to what I get now with an Epson 
1200 and MIS VM inks without the problems, I would switch in a 
minute.  I have a 1280 I use for color and selling that and using a 
2200 for both seems attractive. The other alternative is to convert 
the 1280 to B&W ultrachromes and buy a small printer for the little 
color I do -- mostly family pictures.  However, I am not sure that 
would solve the clog problem given that I print infrequently.
