Digital BW, The Print

If you're looking at new printers, the 2200 is the best, with the 1280 just
about as good in terms of image quality.  [My recommendation of the 1280 is
contingent on the sponge-less carts being available and working as well as
they have so far.  (See http://www.inksupply.com/spongless_carts.cfm)]

You'll find the UT7 and UT2 curves much easier than the old curves.  With
both systems you can use the Y position to have glop, a super-light UT-FS-Y,
or any number of custom inks.

If you're looking at used and print only matte and monotone, the 2000P is an
excellent UT-FS printer -- best dmax.
