Getting started with B&W on 1280

Getting started with B&W on 1280

2004-12-01 by njms200

Just as the 1280 is being "retired" I've decided to jump in (I guess 
the $100 rebate plus low price lured me in).

I want to use it as a dedicated B&W printer.

Piezo looks tempting, but at $300 for a starter kit, a bit steep.  
(Is there a way to pick the software without the ink?)

Are MIS Quadtones considerably cheaper for the long term, and is the 
quality/tonality superb as I've heard for Piezo?
