Re: should I wait --or buy

2002-01-21 by tomoc

Diane-

I'm making the same decisions... PMA will have something announced... 
it may not make any difference, but I thought I'd wait to see what... 
It's not primarily the printer cost... The space for another printer, 
the CIS system... Etc. 

The downside of waiting is you don't get to start using the 1280 
tomorrow and it's a pretty great printer.

on making one a dedicated b/w printer--not sure if this will be the 
875 or the 1280.  But--since I would imagine almost everyone on this

is so terrific now--maybe smaller droplets?  Anything else??
