Digital BW, The Print

I only consider the 4000 because of the BO capabilities. I currently use a 2200 and would 
like to print a bit larger. Otherwise I'd definitely go for the 4800 or 3800.

Clayton, very interesting, your comments about "B3" still showing some paper white. I'll 
await more of your findings when you do some printing with MK (are you using Epson MK 
or Eboni?) I am still always so surprised and pleased by how much deeper the Eboni is than 
the MK in my BO prints. I tried both and there's just no comparison. You can practically fall 
inot the Eboni blacks they are so rich and deep. 

 Also...

"If it looks good, there is always the possibility of using Eboni in
there for a cooler MK (although it doesn't kick in until 55%)." <-----not sure what you 
mean here...could you explain further? I'd like to think I could keep the deep richness of 
Eboni even wwith B3...are you saying that would not be the case?

Thanks!
Sarah
