Digital BW, The Print

The 1900 appears to be very close to the 1800 - no neutral ink core like the
k3 printers.  So in its OEM ink setup, the 1900 will probably be a poor B&W
printer.  On the other hand, it will probably make an excellent 100% carbon
printer on matte paper like the 1800 I use for that purpose.  See

Subject: [Digital BW] Epson R1900

 

I am about to buy a 2400, but wonder if I should wait for the new
R1900. Does anyone know if it will have the ABW capabilities of the
2400? 

On another subject, I notice a huge variance in the amount of ink left
in the carts (N7) when the Epson R800 monitor tells me they need
replacement. The first cart I replaced last night had no more than
10% of the ink in it (via visual inspection). The second, which I had
to replace to get a cleaning cycle to work, had at least 30-40% of the
ink remaining. I tried reinserting the cart a number of time to no
avail. Would a chip resetter work?

Regards,

Steve
