Epson 1280 or 2200 - Which is best for B/W?

2010-07-12 by mbrouphy

I have both of these printers.  

* The 1280 is using MIS CFS UT2 inkset.

* The 2200 is being replaced by a 2880 as our primary 13x19 color printer.

* Neither printer is certified for Windows 7 by Microsoft but is compatible.

The options are leave the 1280 as my b/w printer as it is now, convert the 2200 for b/w usage using one of the inkset options available, or replace it with the low priced Epson 1400 using the most user friendly option that Paul Roark recommends.

Please let me know your thoughts on these options if you could.  I think such feedback would be of great interest, also, to others in the same general predicament.

Thanks, Mike
