Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

I'm a first time user and just loaded my 890 with UT2 inks and have 
received phenomenal results!  Although I have to admit, I was 
seriously concerned about filling my own carts, I ordered the virgin 
empties and the 4oz inks bottles.  I followed the included 
directions, let the carts rest overnight and I'm happy to say, I'm 
cranking-out beatiful black and white prints!  Unless the larger 
format of the 1280 is important to you, I'd suggest the 890.
