Are you planning on printing color only, or some black and white, and do you plan on going for high gloss surface or matte printing?

The reason I ask is because, the 1800 is great for high gamut brighter color work which is printed on higher gloss surfaces, and it offers a gloss optimizer to even out the gloss surface while using pigment inks, but it has problems creating a neutral black and white image.

The 2100/2200 does a better job with matte prints and black and white.

Also, be aware the 2400 is soon to be replaced by the 2880, so it may also enter the used market. The 2400 is the best of the bunch in the Eposn line.
Not it is NOT. There are more carts than ink channels. When you switch the photo black for the matte black you need to purge and reload the printer. It costs many dollars to switch. I think there may be reviews in www.luminiouslandscape.com
Still using pigment inks, it uses a three density black ink set for very neutral B&W prints. It appears to be very reliable, as is the 2100/2200.
