Amazing.  I have several 4800 prints on different papers and modes
with PK, and even on the best of them I found the overall look to be
"unconvincing" on close examination, though it looked excellent at
first glance.  I don't know if it's the shiny paper or the subtle
color in the blacks or the slightly veiled highlights (or all of the
above), but I just can't get excited about it.  I was hoping the 2400
had a BO mode because the 4800 BO print shows much promise.  But it
apparently has no BO mode.  

Now this news - it has pretty much squashed whatever interest I had
left for the 2400, at least out of the box.  Looks like we're going to
need QTR/IJC and MIS top-fill carts to make it do what we want.

Regards,
Clayton
