Digital BW, The Print

I used the 1280 with MIS ut2 inks, and it was a major pain to load  
the ink, and it simply never really worked very well. Constant  
cleaning cycles and wasted paper. It always took more that one sheet  
per print. At least one print to see that it needed a cleaning cycle,  
even when the nozzle checks were Ok.
On the 2400, I have never even done one cleaning cylce in two years.  
And It always nails the print the first time, exactly like the Mac  
(CRT) screen, with no fancy calibrations. I am sure I have saved the  
price of the printer in paper costs...(probably an exaggeration, but  
hey)
The 2400 really works great, all the time. You simply cannot say that  
about the 1280 with pigment inks. Not even close. It can barely sit  
for 12 hours without getting a clog. Sometimes my 2400 sits for two  
weeks or more......the machines are worlds apart in quality/
