Hello Jake,

>Any advantage on that versus the 1280?

1280 - Much less expensive than the 2200
     - More 3rd party inks and add-on products to 
       choose from
     - More workflows and other solutions to 
       choose from

2200 - Has 7th ink, the Light Black, which may or 
       may not make prints look better
     - Uses proprietary UltraChrome inks which you 
       may or may not like
     - Is newer than the 1280, and vendors are 
       beginning to make inks and other add-on products 
       for it, and is reasonable to expect more to come.

I hope this helps.


Regards,
Clayton
