Paul Roark commented that he avoids the 1280 because of a quirk in the
dirver and thinks the 1290 is the best?   I thought the 1290 was just
the model number for the version of the 1280 sold in England and that
the 1280 and 1290 are identical except for the model number?   Comment?

What about using the 2000P for hextones?  There is a Paul Roark workflow
for the 2000P on the MIS site.   Has anyone used the 2000P.  I use the
2000P with the MIS color exact match inks and am considering using it
for hextone printing.
