Digital BW, The Print

I am considering buying the Epson r1800.  I am interested in printing 
black and white and black and white tinted fine art prints with 
occasional color printing.  Is this a good printer for BW fine art 
prints?  Do I need a RIP with it?  What is recommended?  Is this a 
replacement for the epson 2200?  I'm afraid that as soon as I buy an 
r1800 there will be an announcement for a spectular epson 2200 
replacement.

Any help, guidance, suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Fritz

Fritz,

I hope this does not sound impertinent:  If you are worried about new 
printer announcements, don't buy anything.  If, however, you are 
interested in making the prints as in your message, buy the 2200 NOT 
the R1800. See other messages in this forum for why.

Good luck.

Sam,
 
Thanks for the reference!  The link in the article to inkjetart.com/r1800/ answered my question.  I'm not buying the r1800.  Now I'm considering the Epson 2200 and the QTR rip.
