Sam,

Thanks a lot for your reply.  I guess one question I forgot to ask is
whether there's a significant difference in the ongoing cost to run
each printer, i.e. does the 2400 "eat" more ink than the 1800?  As far
as I can tell the cartridges cost exactly the same amount.

Also, having just read Clayton's post in which he explains why he's
sticking with the 2400 for now, he mentions clogging, leaking poppet
valves (??), resetting chips, refilling carts and the extra software
layer (QTR) as disadvantages (for him, at least) to the 1800 workflow.

I assume the clogging, leaking poppet valves, resetting chips and
refilling carts refer to the possible issues that arise using MIS bulk
inks and carts?  Or is the clogging specific to the smaller 1.5
picoliter size of the 1800?

Thanks,
Chris
