Digital BW, The Print

Didn't catch your name but I would chose the 1160 over the 1200. The 1200 is
a bit notorious for having microbanding problems and I gave up on mine
eventually.

Now if it was a choice between the 1160 and the 1280 the I would say go with
the 1280 (or is it the 1290 in your area?). I think the additional nozzles
and the 2880 dpi resolution offer some small improvements. I feel the 1280
or 1290 is less likely to band that either the 1160 or 1200. I don't see
that having 6 shades of black to gray offers an advantage over 4.
