Digital BW, The Print

I'm not sure necessarily favor the R200 over the C86 (I have no experience
with a C88).  I think the R200 has a better matte dmax and deep shadow
performance, and the C86 has a better glossy paper dmax.  For a lot of my
printing, the R200 deep shadow performance matters.  I think most will not
notice the highlight performance differences in actual prints.  Time will
tell whether one is more reliable than the other.  I assume the C86 has more
cleaning cycles built in since it's designed for pigments.  If one uses the
R200 reasonably frequently, however, I hope it would be as reliable.  We'll
see.
