Thanks Bob.
That is a big help.
I don¹t mind buying a 2200 if it is going to be easier.
I live in Bangkok and getting the inks for the 1280 from another 3rd party
which is only in the states would be more difficult.
Epson inks on the other hand are easier to get a hold of out here as they
are everywhere.
What is you take on this?
Also you mention that the prints would be better still if using custom
profiles.
Can you give me an idea on what profiles to use on the 2200?
Thanks and best regards..........Brad.
