Digital BW, The Print

Norm:
I'm very happy with my Epson 1280. They're only about $350 now after
rebate. I've done very little color but from what I've seen others do,
they look good. I'm printing black only and pleased with the results.
My Cone driver and inkset arrived today. I hope to find time to play
with it soon. But, I'm a bit hesitant to give up the Epson black only
as it looks so good to me. Plus, one mouse click and I can do either
color or black & white.
