Digital BW, The Print

I would wait if you can and listen to more feedback on the 2400.  You won't
have to wait long.  If the new Epson inks live up to the hype re gloss
differential and bronzing (ie significant improvement) you will likely want
to stay with them until there is a clone of at least similar quality so that
you can explore both matte and photo paper without frustration.   Even if
the Epson driver doesn't live up to expectations, if the new inks do then
the 2400 will still be worthwhile because not long after it is supported by
Gimp Roy Harrington will likely have it up and running for QTR.  In short,
it's all about the inks.  If the inks don't pass muster then the 2200 is
fine with alternate inks.
