Does anyone have knowledge or comments on buying a 1280, new vs. Epson refurbished? The refurbished is a great price with free shipping. As I want to start it off with UT2 and only UT2 my concern is over getting a refurbished machine that had its jets merely cleaned of former (dye) inks rather than sterile, virgin jets. Definitely want to get started on the right foot. Any input based on experience welcome. thanks, Craig

I would not buy a "new" Epson whenever a refurb was available. The only difference I can tell is in the price. And, I've bought 3 Epson refurbs, each looking like it was new.

All I can tell you is that even a pristine new 1280 can have clogging
problems.

Refurbished printers from Epson can sometimes be better than new, because any problems have been corrected and the machine retested. Check to make sure it comes with a warrantee and all of the accessories and carts. Gary
