Digital BW, The Print

Bert,
Thanks.  I know the 1900 is out, but many comments were that when an
inkset would be available is anyone's guess since Epson changes its
cart system/protection methods each generation.  So I was looking at
either a refurb/clearance 1800 or a 1400.  

The 3800 doesn't work with roll paper, right?  And that would be with
Epson's ABW workflow rather than a dedicated inkset?  I didn't read
about other methods.  

thanks.
