Digital BW, The Print

I've been using the 3800 for about two weeks.  My previous printer 
was the 2200 and I used it for about two years.  Most of my b/w 
printing on the 2200 employed QTR and Qimage. I probably used Epson 
Velvet Fine Art about 75% of the time. I was generally satisfied with 
the output, most of which consisted of 12x18 prints.  I only print 
about once a week and make about two or three "keeper" prints each 
time.

I got the 3800 because of the wider carriage and what I had read 
about the K3 inks.

So far, I have done mostly test prints on a wide variety of papers 
and used the ABW settings as well as QTR.  Frankly, at this point, I 
don't see much of a difference between the 2200 and the 3800 output.  
Maybe I'm not picky enough or I just haven't got it hacked yet.  Who 
knows, maybe I will change my opinion after a few more weeks.

Regards,

Fred
