Re: [Digital BW] Epson's 13 x 19 inkjets compared & contrasted

2005-02-22 by Mark Carstens

So here�s a thought, given the advantages and limitations of the R1800, 
if I do both color and B&W, but rarely print beyond 13� width, then 
would it make sense to dedicate my existing 2200 to B&W with UT7 inks 
on matte/art papers and buy the new R1800 for color output on luster 
paper? Call me crazy, but doesn�t this make more sense than buying a 
second 2200 on the used market for $450 and dedicating that to B&W? I'm 
taking advantage of the relative strengths of each printer, but also 
improving the output quality for both color and B&W.
