Digital BW, The Print

Mitch,

Surely the reason for the 1280/90 and 2100/2200 dual numbering is not just
the different power supplies in the US, but the different paper sizes, so
the absorbent pads for the waste ink overspray (in borderless printing) have
to be in different places, and the driver has to work to these different
sizes. The 1270 was the same everywhere, wasn't it, but when borderless
printing came in with the 1280/90 the dual numbering started.

Or have I got this wrong?

Bob Frost.

1280 is the 1290, and the 2200 the 2100, outside of North America makes
senswe either, as it leads to a lot of confusion among users communicating
internationally on matter such as drivers, for example. If Epson wanted to
make sure that users would not buy a product in one markeet than would
require a power transformer, they could have caleld the products the
1280/220v and 1280/110v instead. I don't like Epson's approach to this
matter: I bought an 1160 in Paris where I spent six months last year and
took it to Bangkok only to find thatn the Epson warrantee is only valid in
the country where the product is purchased.
