I have an opportunity to purchase a little-used 1160 for $215 total from a 
member of this list, but I do wonder about the "legend" status of the 1160. 
Should one still be looking at this printer or not? It is still a preferred 
purchase over either the 1280 or the 2200?

It was suggested to me that if I wanted to do Black Only printing (which I 
was going to start off with) that I would be better off with a 1280.

If I'm looking to set up a dedicated Quadtone printer, is this model a 
better choice than one of the newer ones?

Any thoughts?

Many thanks,
