Robert White (www.robertwhite.co.uk) is an excellent dealer, I've bought
many things from them without a hitch. They sell the 2100. You would be
exempt from VAT. Customs on the things I've bought have been hit and miss,
sometimes it's charged and sometimes it isn't. I don't know what it would be
if it is charged.

Has anyone in the US tried purchasing a 2100 in Britain and having it
shipped to the US?  I know I would likley not get any EPSON USA
warrenty support.  Any other issues?  Would I be exempt from VAT?  US
Customs fees would be how much?  Any recommend UK sellers?  Is the
2100 110-220 volt / 50-60 cycle like the 2200 here is?

J,

You really don't want the gray optimizer setup and cards! I promise!! I 
wasted a lot of time and money (paper and ink) trying to correct my 2100 
using this method, and it just doesn't work. Correction, it does work, but 
correcting just a few points on the grayscale is not sufficient to eliminate 
color casts; it just pushes them to another part of the scale.

Don't bother!!

I got better results with a 14point grayscale and setting the 14points on a 
set of curves in PS. You can then correct each of the 14points. But still 
not as good as proper profiling.

Thanks!!  I was after the gray optimizer set-up and cards, which you
can't get here in the US with the 2200.  Any comments?

Why not use QTR for B&W prints ?
Only costs 50$ and uses the standard inks.

Hans,

Because I've had IP for some time now! But I assumed in my reply that J 
didn't want to use a RIP. But if he does, then IP, QTR, or IJC/OPM are the 
way to go.
