Digital BW, The Print

Fritz,

I hope this does not sound impertinent:  If you are worried about new 
printer announcements, don't buy anything.  If, however, you are 
interested in making the prints as in your message, buy the 2200 NOT 
the R1800. See other messages in this forum for why.

Good luck.

Shilesh
