Re: [Digital BW] Best printer

Go for the Epson 2400. It's got the best B&W solution of any of the currently available printers out there without having to go to a speciality inkset or RIP. Regards, Walt

I have a special birthday coming up, and have been told I can request any printer up to roundabout \ufffd500(lucky me!) - but which one??? I have always used Epson inkjets before, and what I see as the obvious choice is the Epson R2400. However, I have read quite a lot of complementary stuff about Canon printers. I print mainly black and white, usually toned in Photoshop, but want the option to print in colour too. A good range of grey tones is important to me.I am looking for a degree of longevity in the prints, and would not want to print larger than A3+ or even A3.Quality and not speed of print is what is important to me, but if I can meet my criteria with a \ufffd300 printer, that would be fine. I would be using a PC, and have a Xmas present of a Spyder 2 for monitor, scanner and printer calibration.I would be happier not to get involved in 3rd party profile software, but is that unavoidable if the Holy Grail is accuracy of colour printout? I would be interested to hear your comments. I would see feedback from this forum as much more valuable than what I could find in reviews in computer magazines. Many thanks John Fontana
