Digital BW, The Print

Pretty much what I learned from a Black Only excange
we had a while ago is that the 1280 and 2200 can have
identical BO output.

You do have to "trick" the 1280 into printing black
only at 2880 dpi - but the output is the same.  The
2200 is supposedly faster, but who really cares as the
1280 is half the price
