Digital BW, The Print

Paul,
Is the 890 an 8.5X11 printer like the C84? Is it much different 
than the 825 I have now? I didn't see one at Office Depot or 
CompUSA where I picked up the C84. I'm just looking to test the 
waters of a dedicated printer and b&w only inksets, so I'm being 
a bit wary of jumping into the 1280 right off the bat. But I do like to 
experiment with tonal quality. I'm eager for suggestions.
Cheers,
George
