But what you may be forgetting, Don, is that virtually any good printer has, with off the shelf inks, provided "toned prints." What literally no other printer has provided is true black and white prints. And when I say no other printer has provided that, I include the custom, piezo and peizo type systems. They produce gorgeous prints, but those gorgeous prints, as has been noted many times before, are as "good as," but "different from" silver prints. The prints produced by the HP - at least the smaller version, are identical - to the naked eye - to custom RC prints. As to multiple papers, it may well be there will ultimately be real paper choice.

So, for a production machine it is great. For folks that like the toned look or different papers, there are other choices.

So much for peizo...and the Epson series... -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Christopher Williams Sent: Friday, February 25, 2005 10:53 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: [Leica] Re:Epson printer Rumor is the 2200 replacement is still coming. The R1800 is sort of a 1280 replacement. The R1800 prints at 1440 where the 2200 does up to 2880. Calumet is now selling the B&W kits for the 2200 printer.
