My r2400 is supposedly very good for B&W prints - the box makes a big deal of its capabilities, anyway - although it's not really my environment, so I don't actually know.
But yes, the print quality should be good enough for exhibitions - if what I have seen at some of arts shows this year is anything to go by.
Epson also have a good rep for ink-fastedness and longevity.
- Hold on, I haven't in any way, shape or form answered your question - I apologise.Nairn
- always nice to hear from you anyway! ;-)alicetheblue

just make sure you pay attention to the inks that you buy.
You def want the 3 blacks, but depending on what paper you will be using you might want photo black for glossy, matte black for enhanced matte or fine art paper.
- wow, there's definitely a science going on with these new printer color systems... light, light black

ah yes the matte black
do you have to swap them in and out. - think this wastes ink?
or can you specify which one?
- You have to swap them - though you can put the 'other one' back in after you've finished - just do a print flushNairn
- .. to clear the ink each time.Nairn
- ..ah, I see
thanks nairnalicetheblue
