I never understood why this printer got left behind by Epson and all the 3rd 
party people. It was the first unit EVER to use the Archival Inks. It was MADE 
to squirt PIGMENT inks right out of the box (it never sold at Comp USA 
because it was $900 vs. $500 for a 1270 with better colors).

The Cone/R9 driver never supported it, not was it ever used as a platform for 
any RIP or inkset out there. I don't think it has a variable dot, but I'm 
sure it's a 6 picoliter (this came right after the 1200, which was a 6pl dye 
printer and my first 6-cylinder printer). I could never bring myself to sell it.

I remember making my first BO prints with this printer and, other than the 
weak black (Archival Black's Dmax was not like MK or Eboni, for sure), but that 
was in 2000..................4 years is a long time in the evolution of 
inkjet.

Anyway, they are cheap to get now and if you can put up with the 
S........L.......O.......W speed, this thing is sure about squrting pigments and probably 
would clog less than a 1280, which I've never owned.

I would make this a BW machine in a minute if it could be made into an EZBW 
using MIS UT's. 
Go Paul go!!
