Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for all the input it sounds like the 2200 is a better machine.

Yeah, I agree --- same experience here --- i had 1280 for about a
year, and then got 2200 it is better in all respects - if the price
is similar, and/or you don't mind paying the extra, get the 2200...
with QTR it works just great! From everything i've heard 2400 is of-
course ideal... but i'm gonna wait for that one...
