Digital BW, The Print

I reconditioned an 1160 for one of my customers who used the printer 
for Blackandwhite he printed some great pictures with it.
 just to give you idea about cost the print head is $125.00 the Cap 
and Pump are about $30.00 labor about $80 to $100 plus shipping.I 
could rebuild it for you.if you want contact me offline
