Digital BW, The Print

I routinely print B-O using 2200 and Epson driver with OEM
pigments...looks GREAT, readily better than silver paper from small
format negs. Sometimes QTR driver is more appropriate, but only if I'm
trying to emulate large-format images using 35mm...which isn't my main
thing.  

The absence of B-O on the 2400/4800 is alone reason to hesitate
purchase. 2200 and 4000 are built for the ages so maybe the best bet
is to see what follows 2400/4800...and surely HP will soon get it
together better than the Designjet 130.
