Digital BW, The Print

Another yes vote from me, assuming it's as least as good as my C84.

Only minor quibbles with mine so far have been an inability to get a 
perfect nozzle check (it's insignificant b/c it does not show up in the 
prints to my critical eye). Also, it has trouble loading some of the 
heavier/stiffer papers sometimes. And while I won't sell its glossy 
prints due to annoying gloss differential (still perfectly fine for 
sharing snaps), the matte ones on HPR, Innova Cold Press/Soft Texture, 
etc. are absolutely sales-worthy... hard to believe, but this is even 
with "high speed" checked(!)

Great, affordable little setup and IMO an easy way to stick a toe in 
the proverbial water.
