Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Paul,

I am leaning toward using my 1290 for B&W because I can then print 
up to A3+ if needed. I rarely print above A4 in colour so it 
probably makes most sense to keep the 1290 for B&W and get a smaller 
printer for colour. Do you agree? I live in Australia and can't find 
a local distributor for MIS products but I presume they can be 
shipped.

Regards,

Malcolm
