Re: Epson 880 vs 890 and the 1160

2002-01-29 by Peter McLennan

There is definitely no chip on the 880 cart.  I have a cart and an 880 
right in front of me.

My Epson supplier told me that the 880 is virtually the same printer as the 
1160, except that it will only print 8.5 X 11.  I have an 880 and I also 
print a lot of G4 with an 1160 and I can tell you they even sound the 
same.  The pre-print cleaning procedure sounds identical, as does normal 
printing. They can even use each other's printer drivers.

The 880's an excellent photo printer for those who pine for the 
1160.  Cheap, too.  I paid $65 for mine at Ubid.
