Digital BW, The Print

I bought an 860 recently because it was the cheapest printer that Piezo 
cartridges were available for (at least as far as I could determine - I got 
mine from an Ebay vendor who had new ones available for $145 delivered to 
my door.)  The same cartridges fit the 860 and 1160 (as well as several 
other Epson printers.)  The paper guide goes about 1 inch wider than 8.5, 
but I'm afraid I don't know the longest paper it will take nor do I know 
how large the printable area is (if narrow margins are a concern to you.)

Cheers,
Kip
