[Digital BW] Re: Which would you choose? (2200/R1800 - B/W)

Nick;

Yes, they unfortunately have my money captive on a gift card. I 
spent the day on this again; I talked the floor manager out of the 
demo unit for 3-4 hours without going through the sales rigamarole, 
though she did keep my gift card hostage for the duration. No joy, 
I'm afraid. This one looks beautiful too on paper, but exhibits a 
slightly different kind of banding that is so subtle that you don't 
see it until you look at the silver gel contact print with good 
light and a little (3x) magnification. In the meantime, I've 
replaced the R300 with an R200, and it does the job just fine, thank 
you very much. And that is a $99 printer, $70 after the rebate. Too 
bad its only letter size, or I'd have what I need for this 
particular use.
