Forgot to add that the 2400's ABW prints, using three grayscale inks,
produces beautifully smooth tonal transitions that the 2200 can't
quite match.  2200 prints aren't bad, but ABW prints have a special
something that's quite nice.

The K3 inks also have better longevity ratings than the 2200's UC inks.
