Digital BW, The Print

I think Steve Kale is right about the R2400, Yoelis, and that until 
you wear it out creating lots of customers, the 2400 will be better 
for you than the 4800. That's why I just got a 2400.


A week or ten days ago, I paid Amazon.com's U.S. store $765.69 for a 
2400. No shipping charges, and no sales tax charges because it wasn't 
shipped to an address in Washington state, which is where Amazon is.

If the Epson Store's Clearance Center

had begun to have re-furbished 2400's yet, I would have gotten one of 
those instead for much less. But I guess it's too soon for that.


You might, however, consider getting an Epson Stylus Photo R220

for about $100 new (or less used or re-furb'ed), and wearing _it_ out 
making only relatively small prints until refurbished 2400's start to 
show up at Epson's Clearance Center. I think that might be easier as 
well as less expensive, especially if you started with black-only 
(BO) B&W prints, which is what I'm going to do with the R200 $60 
re-furb I got a few months ago.

Good luck with whatever you do.
