Digital BW, The Print

For black-only use, I look to Clayton and others, since I don’t own a C86,
nor have much experience with BO in general.
On my particular R200 I think the drop size might be just a hair too small
for the precision of the printer.  I say this in comparison to BO on my
2200, but I’m not using the same inks in both so it’s mostly conjecture on
my part.

For BW inksets:
The C86 is well proven and has an EZ inkset available.
While the R200 shows promise, inkset development is still in the development
phase.
Unless you enjoy the geek part of printer and RIP setup, I would go with the
C86 and be assured of good results.

Hopefully you read Paul’s C86 EZ-UT page mentioned earlier in this thread.

Best regards,
John Moody

Great thread as I'm considering the options to try my hand at black-
only printing. Have read good testimonials about the C86, but
Clayton's article recommends avoiding the C86 and using the R200.
Both printers seem to be around the same price point. What are the
differences between the C86 and R200? Any significant advantages or
disadvantages of each for black-only use?
