Digital BW, The Print

I have the 1200 using Piezography. Image quality is excellent--no 
dots, smooth tonal gradations. With Piezo inks, the 6 color 
printers use the same 4 ink densities as the 4 color sets, just 
spread out over 6 bottles---more volume but the exact same 
densities. I believe MIS to be a different story, with 6 different ink 
densities. 

The only drawback I've found relates to paper feed. If the paper 
doesn't feed properly and move into position under the print 
head, the 1200 often starts spraying anyway, onto the printer 
itself. I've had this happen on a regular basis. You can cancel the 
print job or turn off the printer, and wipe out the ribbed channel 
which catches all the ink, with a paper towel and windex. This 
problem appears to be unique to the 1200, as other printers will 
refuse to lay down ink if the paper doesn't get fed properly. 
Holding the paper by the sides to help it "catch" onto the rollers 
as it starts to feed has, so far, eliminated this problem, but you 
can forget about unattended printing of multiple copies.
