Jeff,

Same here! I spent many frustrating hours working with my 1270 trying to
make B&W prints that pleased me. It was enough though to convince me that
digital printing had the potential and lead me on to Piezo and a 1200 which
is another story.

And my thanks also to Mitch for unearthing that old review to giving us some
perspective.
