Nice to see you in here standing up for BO printing.  Hooray!

I switched and love the results.

See my reply to Lincoln about being "blacker"...

I switched to a 2200 at 2880 dpi and find that the resolution in fine
details is _greatly_ improved, and the "gritty" look is gone.   I do
everything at 2880 now.  As far as appearance, I think the 2200
handles 2880dpi differently than the 1280 does, and it's also faster.
 It's about as fast at 2880 as my 870 was at 1440.

Regards,
Clayton
