Re: [Digital BW] Dedicated B&W printer - Epson 1400 or 2200

2009-12-31 by Jorge Gaj

Eddie,

Thank you very much for your prompt response.  As I'm reading more posting, it appears that many people are using the new 1400 with MIS UT-14. I'm planning to read the articles written by Paul Roark.  Are you using the refillable carts? and what papers do you use for your b&w prints?

Thanks,

 Regards from Sacramento,

Jorge

Jorge..

I cannot speak to the 2200, but I do have 2 -1400's, one of which is set up with MIS UT-14  pigment based B&W inks and has been is service for me almost a year with NO PROBLEMS, and GREAT results IMHO..The 1400 is a 1.5 picoliter printer utilizing very tiny droplets to give you a clean/dot free end result...Refillable carts are available , and are very user friendly..
plenty of support available on this forum, and on the "QTR forum..

Good luck with your decision..

Eddie

Folks,
Soon, I need to make a decision of which printer will became my B&W printer. 

I own an Epson Stylus Photo 2200 for more than a couple years, which has very little use. A couple days ago I placed an order on a new Epson Stylus Photo 1400, since the price was right, $189. 

Now, I need your advice. Shall I make the 2200 my dedicated B&W printer, or shall I convert the new 1400? What will be the pros and cons of converting either one to be a B&W printer?

Your input is greatly appreciated.

Jorge
