That's not true of desktop Epson printers, which I believe the 1280 is
regarded as being. As I understand it (from an Epson Technical Support
Bulletin) Epson has used 720 ppi as the native resolution for all
desktop printers. Their large format (professional) printers--until
recent models--were native at 360 ppi.

Anyway, the fact that one might not be able to discern differences in
iamge quality (by comparing two prints) is not particularly relevant
to the question of what the printer's native resolution happens to be.
