Digital BW, The Print

I faced your decision two years ago when my 1280 begin to clog
incessantly with pigments. The 2200 certainly required less
maintenance. But the 1280 printed as well, I knew how to make it work,
had workflows, had custom profiles, inks, carts, etc. I bought another
1280 because I had prints to make right then. 

I'll face that decision again probably within the next year. My
current 1280 is doing fine but they don't last forever. I'll probably
get a 2400 this time. In fact if I hit a period where I have time and
MIS has the 2400 inks & carts sorted out, I may get a 2400 before my
current 1280 expires. It's all a matter of time to sort out a new
printer. 

BTW if you do change printers, change from the MIS GP ink to the MIS
PRO at the same time. It's a better ink. No sense having to go through
two changes when you can roll it into one.
