In my opinion...the 1280 has better output potential than both the 7000 and
the 1160 as well as vastly better output than the 3000 (huge droplets)...but
the 7000 is a wonderful machine for other reasons (large ink carts, speed,
vacuum paper feeding and 24" roll paper handling).  On a tight budget you
won't go wrong with a 1280 as long as you can be content with 13" wide max
output.  Moving up to a 7000 means about a $3000 to $4500 investment
(depending on what software you get and how good a price you get for a used
$7000).
