Digital BW, The Print

Steve:  I recently bought a refurbed R1800 for dedicated BW printing 
based on exactly the same reasoning you mention regarding the R2400. 
It has worked very well for me -- I used to fight the 3 1270/1280s 
and their clogging that I bought over the last 6 years.  I also use 
to use CIS systems, but I really like the 1800's individual carts -- 
I'm now sold.  The MIS carts (and I would assume the same for Piezo 
carts) on the 1800 are easy to swap in and out and reset and the 
refilling process is now second nature.  I've run about 700 prints 
through my 1800 with no clogging problems.

I use Paul Roark's 4K+Ccm inkset (MIS inks and carts) and inking 
profiles generated with QTR.  I'll post my draft carbon and neutral 
profiles (currently only for EEM) and ink positions here in the 
files section soon.  They aren't perfect, but they can serve as a 
starting place. 

Now the fine print...This is all my personal experience, YMMV.

Good Luck
