Digital BW, The Print

Andre;

Epson must be running out of designations for new printers, because 
they've recycled the "900" there is now Stylus Photo 900 which has 
six inks, and does indeed use the 1280 carts, not the 4-ink 980 
carts; I would imagine that the greyscale 1280 carts and the Roark 
curves for the 1280, or maybe the 890, will work, but I don't know 
of anyone who's tested it yet. Sounds like Paul's new 1280 inkset 
might work too, when that's ready to go.
