Digital BW, The Print

Rob,

It depends upon your size requires and budget. Overall the 7000 and 9000
would be the way to go if you can. For desktop printing up to 13x19 then the
1280 would be the one to get. If you must have 17x22 output then go with the
3000 (the 1520 has a bad reputation for paper feeding problems). I think
that the 1280 has the edge over the 3000 in output quality but only if you
look very closely. The 3000 is no longer on the Epson site so I am guessing
it is no longer in production. I see prices on the Web as low as $860 so I
would expect used units to be $500 or less.

Also keep in mind that a 3000 takes up a lot of desk and having access to
feed paper from the rear is important for heavy art papers.
