The R1800 does not use the K3 inkset. If you are printing B&W, the K3 inkset is fantastic. Also the R2400 ink carts are larger capacity and that leads to lower cost printing over time. FWIW, I have not had a single clog with the R2400. It sits for weeks at a time, then is pushed into frantic production. For me, it has produced nothing but consistent, high quality prints with complete reliability. My 1270 was a mess with clogging, particularly when I strayed from Epson inks.
