Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

Have you (or anyone else here) had any issues with banding on the 
7500 as described by Mike (banding?

 Since the resolution is lower than the 1280, is it noticeably any 
worse? 

To buy a used 7500 sounds like an intresting option, how much should 
I expect to pay for a used one?

How often do you print to avoid clogging on these printers (7500 or 
1280) - I live in a very dry area.

Thanks, Alfred
