Any chance on a similar CISS for the R2000?

R2000:  
better paper handling,
Refurbs are just $50 more than a new 1430
refurbed R2000 may be newer than refurbed R2880

I must admit I don't see how pressurization reduces microbanding.  I thought microbanding was due to how Epson was feeding paper during the first and last inch, now how ink was delivered.  Perhaps I need to reread the microbanding issues.

       A few reasons
 for doing the 1430.
 1. Because
 it’s actually a really very high-quality K6 head after
 the first inch and before the last. It’s dither pattern is
 almost superior to the x900s frankly (what I’m seeing
 in-lab right now). We are putting a CISS on it that (when
 raised to the proper level) increases pressure to the head
 decreases any small micro-banding.
 2. This lowers the
 barrier-of-entry for anyone wanting to do alt-process at
 really high quality! We are seeing resolutions at a
 1point-text level with Platinum right now . . . .
 3. It’s a $300.00 printer that
 you can get new, that
 doesn’t have insane DRM built into it that excludes
 alternative inks.

 If the R1430 is that low-grade,
 then why has IJM put so much effort into developing the
 forthcoming Piezo digital negative system for
 it?
