lots of things in your workflow will change.

Well  thought you were an MIS Eboni man all the way, which the 4000  will 
handle better than anythinge else out there. You got us all hooked on the  
simplicity of BO/Eboni on various A papers, so if you are trying to beat the  2200, 
this is it without any more time spent. Which means you can refill the MK  
cart with it and (gasp!) even keep the Epson Ultrachromes in there in case you  
ever want to make a color print for your family (compromises indeed!).
 
So, Eboni, the 4000, and the "great paper catch" is all you  need.
 
Swap inks? Nah, that's for people that don't want to capture more Canon  
images instead.
 
If my 4000 wears out (I have 2) I will just replace heads or buy the 4900  or 
whatever Epson has at the time. No problem. Meahwhile I can GUARANTEE you  
that the DX-3 heads are miles beyond any of these little mickey mouse heads in  
the desktop units for consistensy, delta E, servicability, etc. and at $1,295  
this rugged beast is a STEAL right now.
