Digital BW, The Print

I don't about switching, but I understand that there have been
driver improvements that would be of interest to fine art
photographers. To quote Paul Roark recently on this forum:

"The R220 is a step up from the R200. I've posted ICCs for the R220,
but will probably not do that for the C86 or R200. "

and 

"> ...I hear you saying two things: a) the R220 is less expensive

Yes, there are a few improvements in the R220 that are worth the very
slight
price difference, if any."

Paul uses both the R200 and R220, so he should know.

Seems the going price on Ebay is $60-80 including shipping for new
R220's, most of them ones that people got for free or real cheap after
rebates because they bought it with a digital camera. Considering you
can get it for $90-100 retail, I'm not sure it's worth the risk. If
you're in the market for a digital camera or PC you can get an R220
for real cheap or free. Check the various rebate offers on Epson.com,
Staples, Amazon, etc. There's also a 12% off Staples coupon.

Cheers,
Bob
