Digital BW, The Print

Hey Clayton;

  A few things about ink cost:

If you shop around you can get the carts for a lot less than $15. If 
you do a good amount of printing (sounds like you do) you would be far 
better off with a Epson 4800. Sure it cost $1,000 more up front   but  
right off the bat it comes with about $400 more of ink, so its really 
about $600 more up front. If you do the math the additional cost of the 
4800 pays for itself in ink savings in pretty short order. Then you are 
left with a better printer with lower operating costs and the option of 
making bigger prints.

Of course if you don't do a lot of printing and have a lot of questions 
about the printers capabilities the r2400 is less of a gamble.
