Digital BW, The Print

The "B&W" samples from an R1800 that I saw were bad.  I will take a shot at
a dedicated inkset in the future, but I would not buy one for B&W now.

At this point, the 2200 is the best B&W option, but with dedicated B&W
inksets, the 1280 can make prints that are just as good.  For color and B&W,
the 2200 with a rip is it.
