Digital BW, The Print

I'm down to a choice between the Epson 1520 vs the 1280.  Prices are 
virtually the same.  I'm going to dedicate the printer to B&W only and most 
likely will use a CIS system.  Archival prints are essential.

I'd appreciate views as to which is better for archival B&W printing?

Thanks for any help.

Avoid the 1520, go with the 1280. The 1280 will accept thicker 
papers, has far less paper feeding issues, and is easily fitted with 
a CIS (continuous inking system). The 1280 also produces a better 
print. If you decide, however, to ignore my words of wisdom, contact 
me...I've got a 1520 I'll be glad to sell ya!
