Re: 2400 vs 2200 using IJC or QTR

2005-07-22 by wwodets

Another difference--there is the third black in the 2400.  FYI, the 
2400 uses inks (for "neutral," BW, matte prints) in the following 
order:  LLK, MK, LK, LC, LM, Y -- at least in my experience with a 
few hundred prints.  So, I assume the dithering (etc.) is different 
from a two-ink printer.  I haven't done measurements of ink use, but 
I find it prodigious.  I don't think a 13x19, however, uses anything 
like $4 of ink.  (I am particularly irked by the use of C and M in 
the cleaning cycles and have already replaced both cartridges.)  All 
that said, I'm crazy about the printer.
