Digital BW, The Print

The bronzing on this 1800 is driving me crazy. I've had to switch to
matte papers exclusively.  Still, even printing postcards or other non
fine art projects results in less than acceptable prints. I'm
considering getting the hp design net 130. I could use the larger
format anyway as my prints are starting to sell pretty well.

Anyone here have experience with this printer? Is is a wise investment?
I think I could pull off a trade-in of the 1800 at comp USA so I
wouldn't be out of pocket for the whole $1300 or so.

Any thoughts on this?
