Digital BW, The Print

I have a 2000P which serves my color printing needs but, as I'm sure 
you all know, sucks big time for b&w.  So I'm going to buy a second 
printer.  I'd appreciate your input re the economics of this.

With the rebate the 1280's are down in price and I'm thinking of 
getting one to use with the MIS inks to print b&w only. But I'm 
wondering if it would be worth the extra $300 or so to get a 2200.  
If I did that I would convert the 2000P to b&w.

What would you do in a situation like this?

Thanks.

DK

I did exactly what you're considering. I have a 2000P for color (I'm 
trying Generations 4 inks in it, BTW, because I'm not thrilled with 
the output on a non-glossy paper). I bought a 1280 which includes a 
$100 rebate until the end of the year. Got a set of MIS-VM inks and a 
CFS from missupply. I'm very happy with the results so far. Using 
curves and workflows supplied on the mis site, but will experiment on 
my own to better the output.

I just swap the USB cable between the two printers as needed.

I've thought about and seen a few things in B/W from the 2200, mainly 
from Epson reps. Looked nice, but have read mixed reviews. I think 
using the hextone inkset in a dedicated printer was the better way 
for me.

So far...<g>
