Digital BW, The Print

I have both a 1280 and 890. They seem identical except for two
aspects. 1) the smaller max print size and 2) the color cart in the
890 is a bit smaller. That means there are different color carts for
1280 & 890. The black cart is the same. The color carts seem to work
the same, only difference being the 890 holds less ink. 

I find a very seldom print bigger than 8.5x11 so the 890 was a real
deal for me. 

Why do I have two printers? My 890 has color inks. I seldom print
photos in color but it's nice for general printing tasks.
