Digital BW, The Print

Do yourself a favor and buy the 1280.  

There is nothing smart about buying a printer that is obsolete...especially if the major players (Cone, Roark) and the user base is leaving it behind.  

Consider what Martin said about the curves.  

Just a little solicited advice.

  Is there really a big enough difference between the 1280 and 1270 to
  justify the $125 difference in price? My understanding was that they
  used identical inksets and similar printheads, so I was
  thinking/hoping that the workflows and curves would be the same for both.

  I'm really hoping to spend no more than $300 for a system if at all
  possible, as I'm a student and moderately broke at the moment :)
  (Though my hope is that if I can offer gorgeous B+W prints to my
  admittedly small client-base I'll be able to pay for this machine
  rather quickly)
