Digital BW, The Print

Martin,

What chip and cartridge system are you using.  I'm getting curious about the
realities of 1280 cart filling because of my own 1160 problems, which I'll
post separately.

It sounds like you re-use the same chip with each cart.  Aside from the
hassle of having 2 more color positions to mix and fill, are there any other
disadvantages to the 1280-chipped virgin-cart-filling procedures?

I might actually be interested in the small, letter size version of the
1280.  I think there is an 820 that is, after rebates, only $99.  Do you
have any idea if that machine uses the same curves as the 1280.  Since I
have a 3000, I'd only use the smaller printer for daily non-photo printing
and for small photos.  Of course, I'd also use the machine to support the
1280 market.  So, having the driver being the same would be critical.

Paul

  I had my 1280 fail last night.

  I was changing hand filled cartridges with aftermarket chips.
