Re: Epson 1520 vs 1280 Printer for B&W: which one to buy?

2002-03-12 by bggilliand2001

Avoid the 1520, go with the 1280. The 1280 will accept thicker 
papers, has far less paper feeding issues, and is easily fitted with 
a CIS (continuous inking system). The 1280 also produces a better 
print. If you decide, however, to ignore my words of wisdom, contact 
me...I've got a 1520 I'll be glad to sell ya!
