I have the 1200 printer and it is noisy. However, the 2200 is very quiet in
comparison. Once I had to go over and check it because I thought it had
stopped printing. If you get this printer, with individual inks, depending on
what you print, the light magenta burns the fastest, followed by light cyan.
You'll want about 4x as many of these cartridges.
I didn't know the 2200 was more archival than the 2000P? I have heard
that the most archival prints with the 2200 is with matte paper, and
requires a separate matte black ink.
