Digital BW, The Print

Image Print RIP (a fancy third party driver really) makes the 2200 do 
what you expect it do right out of the box, but it costs a lot.  With 
it the 2200 is a great setup.  Accurate colors and great b&w from the 
same inkset, but drives the total cost up to about $1000.  My only 
hesitation in buying one now would be that IMHO the new hp printers 
are so revolutionary that I think it is going to force Epson or Canon 
to do some real quick damage control and come up with something real 
new real fast before hp comes out with an updated killer $300 
(ballpark) wide carriage version with larger ink cartridges to 
directly compete with the 2200.  Had the hp 7660 not come along I 
would have a 2200+IP by now.
