Re: [Digital BW] Epson 2200 vs 1280

2005-12-04 by Clayton Jones

Hello Ron,

>Thanks for all the input it sounds like the 2200 is a better machine.

Add my vote to that as well.  The 2200 is designed for pigment inks,
the 1280 for dyes.  A few years ago when the 1280 was the dominant 13"
printer, one of the most frequent subjects in this forum was dealing
with clogs.  When the 2200 arrived in 2003 that slowly began to
change.  Now that we're well into the next generation of pigment
printers, discussions re the 1280 and clogs have gradually receded
into the background.

The 2200 also has two blacks and separate ink carts, which means
easier refilling your own carts and experimenting with various inks
and RIPs.

Regards,
Clayton
