QTR-Quadtone RIP

Can anyone recommend a printer that can use quadtonerip that is 
inexpensive?

a few printers i have seen are:

1) epson 380 - guess it can use a profile to make claria inks work in a 
more b&w way, but not sure you can use other inks in it?

2) epson 280 - can this be used?

3) epson 340 - can this be used?

any help would be appreciated.

I can tell you from experience that the R340 works fine.  Can't comment on the others, though.

If MIS has the 280 carts in stock (must call them), it's a good, inexpensive
printer.  See some of the B&W options at

In the Feb. 2008 issue of Shutterbug they mention Epson R800 or R1800. 
The R280 is discontinued according to Epson's site.

I would suggest a used printer from either someone who you know or a reputable dealer. 
Unless you absolutely need to buy one new, you will get more for your money with a used 
model. I am having excellent success with my 2200.
