Digital BW, The Print

I have a C86 with UT-FSN, and R200s with both UT-R2 and UT-FSN. Except
for a slight difference in image tone, prints made on both printers
are virtually identical. The C86 is capable of astonishing print
quality given the price (I paid $50), and it handles thicker papers
MUCH better than the R200.
Under a loupe, some images printed on the R200 may appear a tiny bit
smoother in some areas. The converse is that some images printed on
the C86 may appear a bit sharper. For the majority of images I have
printed you would be hard pressed to tell the difference.
