Re: [Digital BW] Piezo and hex FS

2002-04-03 by tomoc

Basically, it sounds to me that there is no advantage what soever in 
converting the 1270 to BW...I guess there might be some reason to 
want to at least try piezo on a 1280 using "best" setting, but I 
think I've seen posts that there wasn't much difference in going to 
2880 dip.

Well... Back to the drawing board for me... I have 2 1160s and a 
1270...only a cis on one 1160 (using FSN). I think I'll put a cis on 
the other 1160 (for FS) and use the 1270 to for Lyson Small Gamut... 
Hmmmmm... I think that means I'll need a 1280 for color. 

Any better ideas for this set of printers?
