Re: Canon S900 for b&w? or any other low cost printer recommendations?

2003-01-01 by Bob_Michaels <Bob@BobMichaels.org>

One point to keep in mind is that probably 95% of the people doing
color printing, and 99% of the people doing b&w printing at anything
more than the very beginning levels use Epson printers. With an Epson,
you can find  other users for support much easier. That was a
compelling argument for me. 

The Epson 1280 is now about $350 after rebate, only slightly more than
the smaller version. So it's a real deal right now even if it is more
than the $250 you want to spend. I'm assuming you can buy in the US
and have it shipped down there.
