Digital BW, The Print

Steve are you using the same carts as the 1280? Or are you using bulk?

I checked out the 890 and the specs look very very close to the 1280 
with the exception of being an A4 printer. But when I checked the ink 
sets they are the same for the black but a different epson number for 
color.

If I can get this cleared up I think I'll try the 890 as the price is 
well within my budget. And since the wife decided for me an A4 
printer would be plenty big enough I gusee it will LOL.
