Either you guys don't know what your talking about, or several of us are 
blind! Piezo is equal among all the printers, The dot size doesn't matter, 
piezo, or partitioned work flows are dotless period. Are Jerry and Robert 
twins? Maybe the 1280 can produce more RELIABLE prints, but better? Not even! 
3000 dots from a foot away? Come on Jerry, surely you don't think 
photographers are using the 3000 without a partitioned work flow or Piezo/  
driver? Certainly your 1280's can't make better 16x20's. I would bet neither 
one of you made any successful prints on a 3000, so that makes you experts on 
them? Why don't you just say the equipment you guys use is the best ;0) A 
good bandless/ dotless Black and white quad/hex print should be nearly 
identical regardless of printer. Jerry, you know this is a black and white 
printing group, using primarily piezo or other portioned workflows, Why would 
you say you can see 3000 dots from a foot away? Why? I know you have seen 
dotless 3000 prints from an inch away. I know your 3000 was buggy and you 
never got it to work, that's very old news. For the record I wore my 3000 out 
printing 1,000's of salable prints and have been using the 7000 piezo pro 
combo almost a year. While some camps where saving money buying cheap paper 
and cheap printers I can honestly say of all the Digital money I've spent the 
last 5 years, The 7000 piezo pro combo was the best money and the smartest 
money I've spent all along, absolutely! and I've spent a truckload of cash on 
this technology almost all of it on black and white printing. 3-4k is really 
nothing for an exhibit quality printer that can do it all from 8x10 to 24x30 
and everything in between. Unfortunately its probably easier to find a 9000! 
and the price is dropping, (big smile) :)
Jerry, sometimes you make me want to drive over there and shake you...
