ready to buy a printer

ready to buy a printer

2002-10-16 by Truman Prevatt

I've finally decided to get off my duff and buy a printer. I've been 
waiting to see how the 2200 evolved. What I've decided is an
Epson 1280 staring off with VMS hextone inks. After I get up on the 
learning curve, then such things as different drivers, inks or RIPs can 
be added.

I see too much uncertainty currently with the 2200. In a few years this 
will probably all settle or maybe the "2300" will be out with things 
Epson has learned incorporated .

Does this make sense or is there something else I need to factor in?

Of course as soon as I buy, the 1280 will be discontinued with no 
support and Epson will deliver a new spiffy driver for the 2200 for the 
UC color inks!
