Digital BW, The Print

On the original issue of the new Epsons, we should be seeing some prints by now!  Has 
anyone had a chance to print the same image with K3 inks and with another method that a 
frequenter of this forum would use?  (MIS, IP, QTR, whatever?)

I'd like to know whether my old printer & RIP measure up pretty closely to the new 
printers, or whether I'm stuck with a new $2000 purchase & 85 lbs. of old 4000.   

On PSNews,  Jeff Schewe carefully compared prints from the 2400 to the 2200 with the 
Epson driver, but that wasn't a very helpful comparison.  If the old Epson driver were a 
'contender,' we might not even need this forum!

IMO, the relevant comparison is between the old BW 'state of the art' - MIS, IP, QTR, etc. - 
& the new printersWith 2400s actually available, I hope someone will write about that 
they've seen (perhaps doing some measurements like Jeff's, if you have the hardware).
