Richard, he's after a dedicated B&W printer, so has some great options
with the 1800. K7 sets and there must be some MIS options as well. He
also mentioned split toning. You could pop carts out back and forth
from different K7 sets for various splits on the fly. Very cool, I was
thinking of an 1800 refurb to play with this very thing myself.
With that many slots there are probably some variable tone MIS sets
that can do splits as well, just a guess.
2400 would be a good OEM approach, but that's not what he initially
indicated he was after, then he'd need PFP or something to split with
well.
