1160 vs. 1280 for quad/hex tone

2002-12-08 by Bob_Michaels <Bob@BobMichaels.org>

Since used 1160s and new 1280s are now about the same price and 1280
CFS systems deal with the chip issue for $90 more than a 1160 model,
is there any compelling reason to buy a 1160 any more for quad or
hextone printing?

While I'm happy with Black Only printing with my 1280, I want to try
quad or hextone printing (using Epson driver) but wondering why I
should buy a used 1160 from an unknown person when for a little bit
more could have a new factory warranty 1280 setup for just a little more.
