Digital BW, The Print

I did what you are considering and bought a 1280 and Ultratone carts 
to sit along side my 2200. My only regret is wasting so much time 
trying to get decent b&w from the 2200.

The Ultrratones are wonderful. Roark's curves are very easy to use. 
Look for a 1280 on ebay. I found one as a "buy it now" for $35! Get 
the prefilled carts to try out the Ultratones. Order bulk bottles to 
refill if you like the results.
