I print a lot of B&W work with it (if you've stopped in to Zocalo in
San Leandro to see the "Ramsey" show, every print there was printed
with the R2400), have had no problems whatsoever with clogging. The
K3 inkset has everything you need, the standard Epson driver can
either be bypassed and let Photoshop do all the color management or
you can use its built-in B&W controls to handle toning etc.
It's a great printer for B&W. Go for it!

Hi Godfrey,
Would you recommend the R2400 for just B&W printing?
I have (had?) an 1160 with PiezoBW and then MIS inks. One night, days
before my last show, I stayed up all night injecting Windex through
the heads to unclog it--it was a nightmare. I don't even want to think
how clogged those heads must be now.
I'm tempted to go back to printing my own inkjets, with an R2400 now.
Hopefully it doesn't have the clogging problems of the 1160.
