Re: 9900 ABW vs Piezotone inks

2009-04-06 by Sarah Renkes

Hi Mark,

Just wondering if you think the 9900 is all that compared to the 9800, both with OEM inks and with the Piezotone? I looked up the differences in the new model but don't know anyone who has one. Not that I'm purchasing one anytime soon, but I'm still curious.

Thanks,
Sarah
