Digital BW, The Print

Hello,

I just converted my Epson 1280 with a continuos flow system with the MIS
variable mix (VM) inkset.  I've been using Paul Roark's curves and I've had
great success.  Thanks Paul!!  I would like to make a split tone effect
print (example: cool blacks and shadows with warm yellowish highlights)

1. Does anyone have curves I could download for doing something like this?
I've snooped around a bit but haven't found anything.

2.  I want to purchase another 1280.  Anyone had horror stories with a
factory refurbished Epson 1280?  Places to avoid purchasing factory
refurbished printers?  Places you would recommend?

3. Anyone know if Epson will continue the $100 rebate on the 1280 this year?
Or will the lower the price?  The rebate expired 12/31/02.
