With what should I replace my once trusty Epson 1160?

2005-04-19 by Mike Gerra

Well,
After 3 good years, my once trusty Epson 1160 has finally bitten the
dust. I cannot unclog the Y head, and have tried every recommended
solution, literally and metaphorically.

So, now with a gallery exhibit looming, I am looking for printer
recommendations, with following specs: max paper width 13 inches;
adaptable to CFS; dedicate to B+W; UT inks; various archival papers.

I've been very pleased with MIS inkset with my 1160, and have become
reasonably good in using and building my own curves. So, a printer
with similar workflow / characteristics would be great.

Oh well, I'm off now to the back yard where I plan to give my 1160 a
decent burial (after kicking it a few more times)! Thanks.
