Re: [Digital BW] Epson 1270/1280 vs. Canon S9000

2002-12-05 by Jerry Olson

THe 1280 can make the finest prints of any inkjet printer on the market.
If you use archival inks, they will outlast any dye based inks. If you
get a CIS system your ink costs will be very low, about 80 percent lower
than if you use individual cartridges.
