Digital BW, The Print

Evelyn:

The answer to all of your questions is yes, you can print both color and B/W 
on the 2400. The 2400 uses 3 black carts as well as 5 color. There is an 
advanced B/W driver that allows you to choose sepia and choose it's 
intensity. The only inconvenience is that for pure black there are two 
different carts, one for matte and one for everything else. Because I only 
print on matte papers this has not been a problem. Before the 2400 I was 
using a 1280 with MIS UT2 inks. One of features of the 2400 that works the 
best for me is the ability to front load heavy paper. Heavy paper handling 
on the 1280 was always a problem.

Subject: [Digital BW] Sepia on the Epson R2400?


My 1270 is dying. I'm getting random horizontal magenta lines across my
prints. I've cleaned, windexed, aligned, changed carts, even came close
to smacking it a couple of times. Can't get rid of the lines. So I'm in
the market for a new printer and am considering the R2400. Am I correct
in thinking that I could use this printer for both my color and B&W
prints? Could I get a nice sepia tone out of it? Right now I'm using
the dying 1270 for color, a 1280 for color back-up, and another 1280
with MIS VMS inks for both B&W and Sepia prints. I would love to get
down to just one printer for all my printing needs but am probably
asking too much.
Can anyone in this group enlighten me as to the possibilities of doing
it all on the 2400?
Thanks,
Evelyn
