Re: [Digital BW] advise on choosing 13" printer

2005-05-07 by Phil & Marilu Morse

Matti,

I run three 1160s, each has only occasional use, and clogs have not been 
a significant problem.  They are currently set up for MIS UT1(CIS), GEN 
4(CIS), and P&P.  No fiddling with chips, reasonably good output.
