Digital BW, The Print

I'll chime in here.  After talking to the Epson people in Singapore 
I gathered that the 4800 will be 3 picolitre printer.  I was also 
told that the inkset would not be the same as the one being used by 
the 1800 ( I need to confirm this ink part again to be certain). 
I'll post more when I get more info.
