Mark;

The other possibility if it is still available, is the recent stylus 
photo 900-it is essentially the 1280 cut down to A4 size, but it 
uses both of the 1280 carts, not the smaller 890 color cart. It will 
also print on CDs and has dual paper paths, so it might work better 
with thick papers. The down side is we have gotten almost no 
feedback about the machine, and now it has been replaced already. It 
also was more expensive than a refurbed 890-$200.00 new I believe.
