I went through the printer selection process just a few weeks ago and
ended up with the R2400, big brother to the R1800.
If your goal is primarily color prints, and glossy surface, the R1800
is probably a better choice. If you need to print a lot of B&W and
particularly prefer matte papers, the R2400 is what you want.
The R2400 differs from the R1800 in having larger ink tanks and not
having the clear-gloss ink that helps so much with glossy surface
papers. What it does have is two different inks for black (photo and
matte black) which allows optimized printing to matte surface for B&W
prints.
I am extremely pleased with the R2400. Several folks on this list
were quite helpful in recommending it too.

I'd appreciate any opinions +/- about the Epson R1800. Whatever your
experience or have heard about it.
Have a tired Epson 820, the product of which has been sort of a
acceptable 'proof', but now feel it's time to get more serious about a
home produced final print.
