I took the plunge yesterday and bought an R2400. As advertised, I get neutral toned B&W out of the box. No more magenta & green casts that I got from the R800 (which I still have). That's a BIG improvement. There also appears to be more detail, particularly in shadows. So far I've only printed on Epson Premium Luster using the PK ink. I chose PK because I thought it would give me the most flexibility in B&W and color; but of course it limits me, so I have two beginner questions for those who have worked out their routines with the K3 inks: 1. Do you routinely use PK ink for B&W or have you settled on MK instead? 2. If you are using PK, what paper are you routinely using with PK ink for B&W images? I don't recall 2400 users on this list switching inks often, although if someone does, I'd certainly like to hear your thoughts. Since I still have my R800, I have some flexibility. I can use it for photo black color printing if it looks as if MK ink is the best option. I'm not inclined to use it for b&w because of the color casts. (I assume at some point I'm going to try BO in some printer but not right away.)
