Large dots unless you use the piezo driver (same as the old 800) 
I think I saw a cis for it but don't remember which one.

Re: [Digital BW] Experience with 1520?

I didn't have a good experience with the 1520. Poor paper feeding 
really detracts from the specified width. Lots of problems with 
banding as well, which translates into lots of expensive paper and 
ink wasted...not to mention time. I use the Cone driver and it slows 
to accomodate the paper feed issues. VERY slow with the Cone driver. 
Highly recommend the 1280 if you can swing it, but if not, you can 
get a CIS from weink.com. Good luck to you.
