Re: Getting started with my Epson 1280

Yes, do try the Epson printer group, as well as Digital Darkroom at
Photo.net

I've seen some superb 1280 work in B&W print exchanges with MIS, and
there's no reason to think Piezo wouldn't be as good. IMO in B&W the
1280 rivals 2400 if you can accept Black Only characteristics (dots).
The Epson driver's perfect for Black Only.

If your plan involved color I'd say forget it unless you're after
hypersaturated flash with very reduced longevity. 

Unclogging would seem the only real challenge if B&W's your goal.
