Digital BW, The Print

Pat-
 
 I'd image you'll get a number of options about this. The 2200 continues to be an excellent printer; however, the K3 inks are demonstrably better than the older K2 inks. K3 has improve gamut and the ABW option, combined with K, LK and LLK inks, produce grayscale prints with less metamerism. Many photographers are finding ABW more than adequate for their needs, provided you stay on the OEM (original equipment manufacturer's path). If you decide to print on non-OEM papers, you'll need to do a lot of tweaking through the print driver.

 Subject: [Digital BW] New printer time?
 
     Hello,
 
 Are the new Epson printers using the K3 inks that much better then the
 SP2200 for instance? I have an SP2200, but haven't used it much. I'm
 thinking of gearing up for more serious involvement in my photography
 and had scound thoughts about the printer I currently have. 
 
 I came from a very traditional B&W large format background, but have
 gone digital and trying my hand at color as well. I'm starting to pour
 through all the info, but there is allot of it.
 
 Any info/tips would be appreciated.
