A few points that come to mind: lack of gray inks means that heavier ink loadings are needed, and that color blends are used for neutrals even in color images. Also, the feed mechanism can have difficulty with some of the matte coatings and heavier weight sheets.I am interested in the "not ideal for matte" part. Can you be more specific - I guess you mean that it is not ideal for matte color prints (no questions about B/W). But what exactly is not ideal? I've read something similar in a a couple of 1900 reviews i.e. that 2400 2880 etc. would make marginally better matte prints, but it has not been quantified, what exactly would be better. I am not disputing this statement, but am just curious.
