Dedicated b/w printer for Piezo K7 inks: Epson R2220 or R1800

Dedicated b/w printer for Piezo K7 inks: Epson R2220 or R1800

2007-07-29 by pglombick

I am looking for people's personal experiences using Roy Harrington's 
QTRgui RIP with Piezo K7 cartridges and one, the other, or both 
printers. I am interested in any problems such as banding, clogging, 
paper feeding problems, etc. I am wondering how these two printers 
stack up. I have a R2400 which I am dedicated to colour and printer 
using K3 inks and ABW.

Also, any suggestions on where to buy one refurbished or cheap would be 
appreciated.

Thank you.

Paul

I haven't seen anybody reply specifically to this so here's my input. I  
had a 2200 and I tried QTR with the Epson inks and got decent results. I  
bought a used 2200 on eBay for $250 and got it running (clogged heads)  
also with the Epson inks. Then I switched it to K7 inks and although I  
haven't done a lot of printing with it yet, I am very please with the  
results. Now I have one 2200 for color and the other dedicated to B&W. I  
just need to get more time to spend printing. I have had very little  
clogging, after the printers have set a while without being used, I  
usually have to run one or two cleaning cycles and everything is OK. It's  
about the same for the Epson inks and the K7s. I have had some feeding  
problems with my original 2200 with some papers, I think I need to clean  
the feed rollers.
