RE: [Digital BW] Suggestions for dedicated B&W printer

David, before you forget about the old 3000, could you tell me what papers
worked with the QT inks.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Suggestions for dedicated B&W printer


  Hi, I am looking for advice to help me choose between two A4 printers. I
  have previously used an Epson 3000 with MIS QT inks for B&W and then when
  this died (paper feed problems) switched to OPM with an Epson 2100 using
the
  standard UC inkset.

  I am now looking for a dedicated B&W printer again, albeit starting on a
  smaller scale than before. My choice is between an Epson R220, which I
  would have to purchase, with either the MIS UT-R2 or UT-3D inks or a
spare,
  unused, R800 I have in my loft, probably with MIS UT-3D inks. I will be
  printing on both matt and the newer fibre based gloss papers.

  Common sense suggests the R220 as I will be properly up and running much
  faster, however the possibilities offered by the additional inks of the
R800
  are appealing. Any suggestions?
