Digital BW, The Print

Epson do not consider BO as a photographic workflow.  They consider it a
text printing setting.  With the 2400 they evolved the driver to improve
even its text printing to using the other inks.

I don't have a 2400 but rather I bought the 4800.  Nonetheless the
comparison is likely very valid for potential 2400 purchasers.  The 4800
blows the 21/2200 away out of the box.  You will not be disappointed.
