I don't see any current
rebates that can be used in the USA, but the 1430 is readily available from
online sellers for US$299.95 including shipping. I'm thinking of doing what
you did and never put color ink in the printer - I suppose I could sell the
color cartridges it comes with on eBay :)
What
papers have you been happy with? I've been please with some results on Moab
Entrada Rag and also with Red River Aurora Fine Art White. I've had
considerably less success with Epson matte
papers.

Hi Got a new 1430 directly from Epson, using a rebate offered by the manufacturer, for 269$. I'm in Canada. As for Eb6, I started the new printer with a kit sold by InkSupply (this printer never printed a colour picture, I still have the original inks un packed). Bought both QTrip and QTR Print Tool (I'm on a Mac platform, and it is much easier to work with), printing is great, I'm having fun and the results are great. My two bits, check your choice of paper; cheap papers will make bad prints. Good luck
