Digital BW, The Print

I hear this summer and from another source about 70 +- days till the 
Epson 2880, the 2400 replacement is either announced/released (still 
not clear), but that's all I know. 
I'm waiting till July anyway and currently following the discussion 
here in great anticipation on the 1400. My concern with the 1400 is 
installing RIP's, dealing with maintenance issues, etc. and dealing 
with the occasional switch over to color for the occasional print.
(This will be my first inkjet printer. Up till now I've been 'wet 
printing' B&W prints in the darkrkoom.) 
Also, the thought of having to calibrate the computer monitor is 
daughting, I expect this will be a concern even with the still to be 
announced printer or even a 38000. If anyone has any suggestions or 
links regarding monitior calibration made easy, or installing RIP's 
made easy, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
