Digital BW, The Print

I asked a similiar question a few weeks ago and the consensus was 
the 2200 does better B&W than the 1800.  As I recall Paul Roark, who 
is one of the most experienced B&W printers that post here, was of 
that oppinion.  I have subsequently accuired a 2200 and have been 
printing with the Harrington QTRip with good results.  The best 
thing is the various tones you can produce with one ink set.  I have 
also used the 1280 with MIS UT ink and Paul's curves with good 
effect.  Again, the ability to vary tone with one inkset is 
attractive.

That said, I feel my 1280 with Piezotone selenium ink produce 
somehwat better images on matte paper.  But with Piezotone inks you 
are limited to one tone per inkset.  Hope this helps...Val
