Digital BW, The Print

Roger,

Victoria's message made me think to check Epson's main website and 
various country sites. The 1160 appears in their product line up 
everywhere I checked except the US. So it looks like the 1160 is 
still in production but not for sale in the US. You could probably 
get a new one from Europe or Australia. Both the UK and Australia 
sites listed retail web stores.

Did not see the 1200 anywhere but it may have a different model 
number.

Of course you would have to pay more in shiping and some import duty. 
One other thing to watch out for would be electrical requirements. 
Most of Europe is on 250V, 50Hz rather than 125V, 60Hz but a lot of 
electronics have switches to select the voltage.

Question for any EU 1160 owners. Does your 1160 have a voltage 
selection switch and what plug adapters came with it?
