Digital BW, The Print

Paul
In the small size Epsons I use an 880 (have to find these rebuilt or used ). It is a 8.5 x 11 unit. 4 color printer with out chips. MIS has prefilled carts in FS and VM and I'm sure you could find CIS systems (I think MIS actually has them).
I just got my 2nd 880 and am going to use the FS inkset, I have the VM in my first unit. Unforunatley the existing curves for 1280 do not work, I had to play around and come up with my own (very generic) curves. I am very pleased with the results I get but I'm sure you could make this printer really sing.

  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
