Digital BW, The Print

In response to the info being shared here regarding BO printing (or
even full inkset printing) and the best printer I went to Epson's site and got
some data on a range of printers. Though my initial intention was to compare
the c86, R200 and 1280, as they are the most inexpensive, I thought it would
be good to see the other printers too including the 2200. I think these
numbers show some very interesting differences between these printers. The 
amount of nozzles on the c86 monochrome head are amazing for one 
instance.

I'm an amateur regarding BW printing and poised on buying a printer
for dedicated BW work so I have nothing to share other than these
numbers. I have no answers, only questions. Enjoy.

Specs given are arranged as follows:
Part 1: model
Part 2: resolution
Part 3: nozzles & colors, if monochrome as a seperate spec it is
listed as the 
first item in the line, or as Epson lists it.
