The Epson 2400 shares features with the 4800, 7800 and 9800, and they all use the new Ultrachrome K3 inks. After using the 2400 for a month or so, I find it is a superb printer, with an extremely good Black & White mode (ABW) built in to the Epson driver, and for the first time since I started black & white printing I find that I am not messing around with dedicated monochrome inks or RIPs, and that is a great relief!!!
