Digital BW, The Print

Scott,
I found a used 1280 on craigslist for $30.  Kind of hard to beat at
that price.  It's been ok.  With refillable cartridges, and bulk ink,
it's been a pretty economical way for me to start out.  One thing that
I am greatly annoyed by is it's ability to print on gloss on
semi-gloss.  With my particular printer, I get "pizza wheel" marks
that I hate.  I know there are "fixes" for this, but I don't feel like
taking the printer apart.  It does a nice job on matte paper though. 
My particular printer takes a little bit of work to get going so I
usually save printing until I have a few prints to make.  Usually 5-10
minutes or so of running the print checks and head cleanings and some
purge patterns.
