Digital BW, The Print

Sorry, but I can't address the CIS issue for both B&/W and color.   But regarding the printers as delivered, if you are REALLY going to be printing a lot, then you might also consider going with the 3880 because of ink costs.  It is a pro-line printer, does really excellent B&W as well as color, and ink will cost a lot less.  Obviously, it also gives you the option of printing larger - up to 17" wide.  It is larger, but not that much larger than the 2880.
