Re: A4 printer with MIS VM Quadtone Inks

2003-03-27 by Johnny Eades

Hi Richard,

As a proud new owner of an Epson 1280, which is a 13"x19" printer, I 
really recommend it for black and white printing as well as color. I 
have the MIS-VM inkset and like it very much. This is a 6 ink 
printer that will give you smooth skies and skin tones. I just got 
it 24March2003 off ebay auction site . I think the model numbers in 
Europe run differently than US, but you can log on Epson website and 
see what the matching models are. I think the 1270 or 1290 match the 
1280. Hope this helps, and by the way; you can choose the different 
resolutions to print your images. 360dpi, 720dpi, 1440dpi, or 
2880superphoto dpi.
