epson's clearance center also has a good deal on refurbished R1800. i 
ordered one last week at a net price of $280 with free shipping. for 
some reason, the price went back up this week so the compusa sale 
sounds like a great deal.

i plan on using carbon inks on mine. also, the R1800 has a smaller 
droplet size - 1.5 picoliter.
