  Subject: [Digital BW] r1800 and mk-3 or r1400 for BO-printing
  Hello..
  From personal experience, and what I've read, I would definitely go with th 1400 with MIS UT-14 inkset..I've been using this combo since November with great results (IMHO)..good Luck!

  Hi,
  I printed some very very nice looking BO-prints
  with my claria r280 (r285 here in Germany) printer an the claria black ink. With the qtr-profiles from 
  Carl Schofield (thanks for these) I did some prints on Harman
  Fiber Base Gloss and Epson Premium Gloss, which really look 
  good and (esp the harman) make me think seriously about giving up my darkroom
  if I could have this bigger than letter-size. 
  Now I want to go on in b&w black only printing and
  I´m thinking about buying (ebay) an r1800 (and the mis inks for mk-3 on matte papers) or an r1400
  (claria- BO on Harman fiber base gl.) If I put longetivety and the glossy-matte question
  aside.
  What difference concerning smoothness, image-tone, and "look" can I aspect from
  the two different aproaches. I hope there are some people out there wo have seen 
  prints from both systems.

  Marcus
