Digital BW, The Print

Very encouraging information on the K3/ K4 inks and B&W from both 
Clayton and Paul. I think this might be the way for me to go. Seems 
like a reasonable gamble.

That would be a deal breaker for me on the 3800. I would really like 
to continue using MIS inks. I just contacted my local epson dealer. 
He can get me a 3800 next week at the earliest, end of the month at 
the latest, so they are about to hit the shelves. Probably worth 
hanging tight until companies like MIS get a chance to see how this 
new printer is plumbed and if a 3rd party option is doable in the 
foreseeable future. If not, I can pick up a 2400 anytime.
