Digital BW, The Print

I  can't offer a 1400 opinion but I do have a 2200 with piezography inks and refillable carts. Like Eddie says about the 1400, almost no problems with my 2200 setup. Had initial hesitation about the hassle, but now a convert. I don't even use it that often (couple times a month), but despite the light usage see almost no clogging. Any issues and a cleaning cycle deals with it, i've found. Easy stuff.

Maybe a deciding factor is, how you want to use the *other* of the two printers.
