I don't know.  Maybe they received too much negative publicity on the 800.
Or, maybe it's just a sample difference. Or, maybe they are just learning
how to handle paper feed better -- I hope.

I'd bet you'll have a lot of trouble feeding a 285 weight paper into the
800.

I may know by the end of this week if MIS's newest chips are reliable.  I'd
guess that is the most significant question mark right now with respect to
third party ink support for the 260.
