Digital BW, The Print

I think you should take a second look at the Epson 3800.
If you factor in the 2400 ink costs the 3800 is not more expensive
and it actually costs approximately $100.00 less.
<http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/printers/epson-3800.shtml>
The reasons I would go for the 3800 are:
1. Larger ink cartridges, no need for a CIS.
2. Automatic switching between Photo & Matte Black.
3. Prints up to 17" wide.
Right now Epson.com has refurbished models on sale for $945.00 making
the printer another $350.00 less than a new Epson 3800 and only $250
more than a new 2400 after the $100 rebate.

Thanks so much for this detailed reply.  It has really helped.  I've decided
to buy the Epson
R2400, and I will try the OEM inks.  If they are not adequate, I will
convert it for use with a
Piezography K7 set and a CIS and stick with matte papers.   I decided
against the Epson
1400 and K6 inks primarily because the printer is not engineered to accept
the thicker
papers, and I can visualize a future where I have to feed and feed and feed
the paper
before the printer accepts it.
