1280 for BW work, for sale - excellent condition

2007-07-31 by Craig Snyder

Like new, Epson 1280 for sale. I bought it in late 2005 direct from Epson to produce some 
11x17 BW archival prints. I followed both Paul Roark's and Clayton Jones' methodolgies 
using the MIS UT-2 inks. 

It is a low-use printer, with me only producing maybe 50 prints on it. I know that because 
I still have paper left in my paper box. I have kept it immaculate with a dust cover on it 
except during use. It's nearly in mint condition. It has worked perfectly for me. 

My 11x17 print project was over awhile ago with and I've hardly been using the printer. 
I've been firing it up monthly to keep the jets clear but lately I've been forgeting so I 
thought I'd do some fall cleaning and try to find it a home where it will be more in the 
limelight of activity. I just printed a test print and it looks fine. I also did a nozzle check on 
it and it is 99% good.

What you get:
- Epson 1280, plus all the original parts/accessories (the thing for roll paper), manuals, 
the install CD etc., and I'm not sure what else, but no cables.

The printer will be shipped in the Epson box it came in which I have kept in the attic. I will 
remove the UT2 carts in it before shipping, scotch tape the cartridge ends, and pack in 
plastic so no spillage. 

I am selling it for 150.00 plus 15 for shipping. I will use FedEx Ground (I am based in 
Florida).
