Digital BW, The Print

It really depends on how you define "better results".  BO prints have
some qualities that many feel are superior to full ink prints, but
also one major shortcoming that disqualifies it for many.  In my
experience it's great for some images and poor for others.  By
installing the full R2 inkset in the 220 you can have both BO and full
ink printing.

However, the plot thickens when the 2400 enters the scene.  Not only
does it do bigger prints, its full ink prints are superior (IMO) to
those produced by R220/R2, plus it allows a wider range of color
tones.  So it's not such a simple answer.  I hope this helps.
