I also have a 2200 that I used exclusively for color (plus a little black-only printing). Then QTR came along. Now I use the 2200 for both color and black and white. The 1280 has been relegated to duty as a document printer. It would help in answering your other questions if you said what you didn't like about the 2200. For someone who is happy with the 2200 and QTR as I am, there no longer seems to be a need for a dedicated black and white printer.

Hi gang, Say you have to get a 13 x 19 printer. Your choices are the 2200 or the 1800. Which do you choose and why? If you could get two printers would you get a 2200 for color and an 1800 for BW? What if you already had a 1280? Would you dedicate that to BW using a CFS and if so, which of the other two would you get for color? Additional info... Someone is giving me a 1280 tomorrow. I don't know it's condition but I think it's in good working order. I also have a 2200 which I feel so-so about. I have a replacement warranty on it so I could return it and get full store credit for it (not cash unfortunately) I already have $399 store credit so by returning the 2200 I'd have about $1000 store credit. Would it make sense to move up to a larger format printer? I have been selling my 13x19 images pretty well. Getting $175 to $225 for them at shows but I don't show that often. Could probably get more for larger images. Thanks for considering these questions. I obviously have decisions to make and soon.
