If you are printing with Matte papers, the 2400 has no real advantage. If you are printing with 
glossy/luster papers, the 2400/K3 inks demonstrate a visible improvement in dMax and 
simply look great.

IMHO buying a 2400 for use with either matte papers or 3rd party inks is a waste of money 
unless you don;t have access to another printer. That said, I use a 2200 for matte prints, and 
a 4800 for glossy -- the ink costs are much less on the larger printer. I am really liking the 
deep blacks of the K3 inks.
