Digital BW, The Print

No need to run the tests... You will be disappointed in the 2000 
prints next to the 1280 ones... If you are not, try it again on a 
glossy paper.

I did the same tests etc but with a 1270, so the 1280 will kill the 
2000. I fussed with the 2000 for weeks and finally realized it was 
causing more aggravation than I could imagine (trying to match the 
1270).

I'm jealous <g>, but one of these days soon, I intend to move the 
1270 to BW printing and get a 1280 for color.

Good luck...happy printing
