Digital BW, The Print

Clayton,

Thanks for your statistics on the reliability of the 1280. If I had
50/50 odds of getting a good printer I might give it a shot but it
sounds like it would be really frustrating. 

The C86 with the MIS EZ inks works nicely but I'd really like to move
up to a 13" wide printer. I guess I should start thinking about the
2200, anyone want to sell a good working unit in mint shape for not
much money;)
