I just wanted to echo this statement. The K7s have been my ink of
choice  in a 2200 for over a year and I've been very happy with them.
They're easy to use  and trouble free... no clogs and no spectro
required. The best part, though, is they're simply gorgeous. I'm
spending my time now shooting, editing and printing photography rather
than babysitting a sick printer or endlessly tweaking linearizations,
etc. With a printing process this transparent I can better see the
strong and weak links in my photographic chain, and as such, focus my
attention on improving my craft as a photographer which is liberating.
I would compare it to making critical audio judgements of music played
through consumer level speakers vs. pro studio monitors. I'll take the
pro studio monitors any day. And likewise the K7s.
