Digital BW, The Print

Good morning....

I have been trying to follow the discussions here as a way of learning more about B&W digital printing. I admit I'm pretty much lost on lots of the technical details regarding inks, curves, QTR, RIP and the other acronyms floating around. But I'm learning!

I currently have an Epson RX500 all-in-one that I use to print my photos. They are pretty good but I want better and bigger. I would like to print up to 11x14 which is what my preferred size was in the wet darkroom. And I would like to get rid of, or at least control, the slight color cast I get on the RX500 prints.

I'm looking at the Epson 1280 and 2200; they both print the size I want and I can get the MIS inks for them, too. The price difference has me leaning toward the 1280 but if there is significant improvement by going with the 2200, I would consider that option.

Any advice you have to offer will be appreciated.

Kathy
