Digital BW, The Print

Hi,
I haven't used a 1200, but I printed with an 1160 and archival pigment inks
for 2 years (until it died), and its an inexpensive printer giving excellent
results. It has a different dither pattern to lay the ink drops on the paper
than the later printers, which is - as far as I can tell so far - very
natural looking and unobtrusive.

Regards, Bernie

I apologise for sending this post as I've asked similar questions before.

I have a 1200 that works fine with oem inks, but was torture with cart
refilling with UT1 inks.

Is there any reason why I should retire the 1200 in favour of a new 1160,
which seems to have many advocates.

I don't want to go through the nightmares I had with the 1200 any more with
the inkflow problems I experienced - a lot of my ink went in cleaning
cycles.

I'd be using a CFS, which I hope would make things easier.
