The 220 was a great bargain and ran the UT-3D inkset -- see
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/UT-3D_Readme.pdf   Unfortunately, the 220
is not longer made.

The R800 (and R1800) were the first to use the very small 1.5 picoliter
drops.  As such, they are also the first to be able to print what I consider
photo quality, 100% carbon prints.  See
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/R1800.pdf   I'm personally trying to move
all my printing to 100% carbon to avoid the problems color inks introduce.
The R800/1800 setup also allows color printing, but not glossy -- just
matte.  Custom B&W only setups could easily also print glossy, but I thought
the full color + B&W would be the more popular (and I needed color for a
project).  So that is what I set up first.
