Digital BW, The Print

Chris;

We R1800 owners are HOPING the advantages over the 1800 will be better 
paper handling, and NO MICROBANDING (please Dear God!) As for no-swap 
B&W printing, you will still have to use QTR, and exchange at least the 
gloss for an LK or MK depending on the system you opt for. Of course, 
you could have no-swap gloss & matt printing now with your R2400-if you 
were willing to give up ABW.

I do a lot of sepia printing, the orange sounds very interesting for 
that-variable sepiatone with only one color to mix?


I have to say I'm a bit miffed at having this anounced less than a week 
after I preicted Epson wouldn't make a successor to the R1800. I 
suspected something was up when I noticed 2 days ago the rebate for the 
R1800 has gone up to $100.00
