I heard the new R2400/4800 also eat up ink like there is no tomorrow too. One complaint about BO prints is that it's grainy, but I found that if you print larger (11x15") the grain and the dots just quite match up and give a very pleasing tonal range. It may be dependent on the neg, scanner resolution etc. though so YMMV. Only problem right now is that one of the rollers is stuck with ink or something and is leaving mark on the print. I need to clean it up...
