Digital BW, The Print

Dave,

It is not a looming disaster.  I have tried it with Epson glossy 
papers, Ilford Gallery Smooth Glossy, Lexjet fiber gloss, black and 
white and color and NO trouble feeding or with pizza tracks.  I even 
as I mentioned earlier put a sheet in upside down and ink never 
dried, but no pizza tracks.  The only problem I have had is with the 
fiber paper (gloss) that had a curl on the sides produced head 
strikes.  I am very pleased with this printer plastic parts and all.  
I checked the dither with a loop and compared it to the dither of a 
2200, same print, same areas of comparison and I was unable to see 
any difference.  Both prints were almost identicle color wise, etc.  
So much so that it gave me confidence in my profiling system.

HTH
