Digital BW, The Print

I use the 2200 and IP6.  Given a high quality solution, time is more
important to me than cost (within reason).  IP is a no-brainer, you just
install the software, select a paper profile and print. You are probably
aware that unlike your 1280 dye printer, the 2200 won't make a good print on
gloss or semi-gloss paper because the pigmented ink stands on the surface of
the paper.  I have no first-hand experience with the 2400, but if gloss
prints are important you might check out its capability for that and factor
into the equation.
