Digital BW, The Print

Yes, you should return this printer if you are serious about printing 
b&w and get the 4800 - the 1800 is NOT a great b&w printer -and the 
4800 much more economical as well as it comes with all that ink...

Yes, I have one..

Google it and read - the 4800 is a Professional printer, the 1800 is 
not...

No CIS  as I know of but the 220 ml carts can be had for about $70 each 
- very cheap and NO hassle with the CIS..

The Chinese carts from MIS are great - use them all the time  for proof 
prints from the 1280
