Digital BW, The Print

Although the 1280 is capable of incredibly fine work with various ink
setups, the 2200 is more reliable...it doesn't clog with OEM, prints
credible B&W with QTR and OEM, and does very fine Black Only with MIS
UT7 ink and IMO even better with UT7 and the Epson driver. 

I DON'T use any profiles or measuring technology, but I do have a well
developed eye from years of color and B&W darkroom. If you're
determined to be ultra-stingy with inks and paper, you're likely to
spend a LOT of money figuring out which measuring technology meets
your needs, rather than learning similarly expensively visually. IMO.
