Re: [Digital BW] Epson 4800 vs. 2400 question

2006-02-04 by ginnylady33

Ah...OK Steve. Thanks for that info. In that case I'll go with the
2400. Especially after considering the weight and price of the 4800.
With the 2400, would the improvement in B&W quality vs. the 1800 be
out of the box or would I need 3rd party inks?
Also, if I am using it as a dedicated B&W printer and my 1800 for
color, what would be the relative frequency of cartridge use for the
2400? For example, in doing color on the 1800 I tear thru Cyan and
Magenta way faster than other colors.

Thanks again for your help!

Best
Ginny
