Digital BW, The Print

Bob,

>the long run!

From comments here in the forum the R800/1800 are not the best
printers for BW.  But they do use pigment inks.  Perhaps a good move
would be to get an 800 for color and put the MIS grayscale inks in the
220 for BW.  Best of both worlds.  Why bother with dye inks...

Or if you might want the occasional larger print, get a 2400 for top
notch color and BW, and keep the 220 for proofing and experimenting
with other inks. I use an R200 for BO proofing and the 2400 for final
prints.  Reduces ink costs a lot.

Regards,
Clayton
