Re: [Digital BW] Jumping in

I'd get the 1280, MIS VM inks, A Nomorecarts CIS system,
Enhanced Black from media street for the black ink, and use Paul Roark's 
curves.
This is the least expensive way to go with outstanding print quality.

Do I buy a Epson 1280, or a 2200 (and hope a more then duotone inkset comes out in the near future), a 3000 (seems out of the question due to banding problems) or a Canon S9000 (if thats the model supported, in hopes of being able to more easly deal with clogging)?
