Digital BW, The Print

Yes, I think that's so--I have one of the original 1280's which is still going strong--and not too much problem with clogs, but I have not used pigmented inks (though I have considered for several years making it a dedicated b/w printer, but 'found' QTR instead).  I have used a 2200 for several years with pigmented inks and have had virtually NO problems--with pigmented inks, but its meant to use them.

  Hi Mark;

  I totally sympathize with you re the 1280. The original beige 1280 
  did much better, the fancier looking 1280s sucked. But in fairness 
  to Epson, it was never intended to be run with pigment inks. As for 
  HP and Canon, you'll have the same problem unless you buy one of the 
  new 24" Canons that run pigments. It seems that of the current crop, 
  the 2400 is the only reliable 13" printer worth owning if you want 
  to print with pigment inks.
