After a four year hiatus (I';ve been living on a boat) I'm about to immerse myself in printing again. I have a lot of material to go through! But when I took my printers out of retirement I found that they have all suffered badly through lack of use. Yes, there were carts left in, but they were dry stored in airtight bags. None of them will produce a reliable nozzle check. They are a 2880 (which I hate to discard but it resists all attempts at cleaning), a 2100, a 1400 and a venerable 1290. I need a replacement printer. I mean to use PR's Carbon-6 inkset in refillable carts via QTR. It has been a while since I was familiar with the available models - is there an acknowledged best performer in the A3 range? The 1500W seems well priced in the UK - is this the same as the 1430?

My understanding is that the 1500W --
is the European version of the US market 1430 --
That "1400 family" is very well supported, though I don't currently have one set up with Eb6. (I use the printer for color & B&W dyes. Though a bit of a hassle, I have switched between these dyes and Carb-6 a number of times without bothering with flushing fluid -- even had the dyes and Eboni in the printer at the same time.)
