Wow I resent that!  Ha Ha...I hate blue prints...Ha Ha...oh and I have 20:15
in one eye and 20:10 in the other...yes...that's better than 20:20...so my
ophthalmologist says I'm not blind.

There is more in life than Piezo and Epson drivers, friends.  When you start
to investigate the other options out there some commercial (like Imageprint)
and some experimental you realize that much, much more can be drawn out of
these printers.  When you do this...you also realize that "dot size" does
start to matter...I agree it doesn't matter much in the piezo driver.  This
isn't a big issue if you are using the piezo driver...but personally...I
know for a fact that you will have many, many more options as to how you
print if you stick with a 1280 over a 3000 because many of the new driver
options that will and are coming out now will not support the 3000.  As I
said before, if you need something larger than 13" output then the 3000 with
the piezo driver is a good low cost option.
