Digital BW, The Print

For a tight budget ($225) the 1280 can't be beat. I'm sold on MIS
inks, both b&w and color. But I would suggest the spongeless carts
instead of a CFS. Especially if you want to print both b&w and color
on the same printer. 

I used 1280's for years, wore one out, took the other out of service
recently and replaced it with a 2400. My prints look the same, just
lower maintenance with the 2400.
