Which would you choose?

2005-05-08 by Tim Timmermans

Hi gang,

Say you have to get a 13 x 19 printer. Your choices are the 2200 or
the 1800. Which do you choose and why?

If you could get two printers would you get a 2200 for color and an
1800 for BW?

What if you already had a 1280? Would you dedicate that to BW using a
CFS and if so, which of the other two would you get for color?

Additional info... Someone is giving me a 1280 tomorrow. I don't know
it's condition but I think it's in good working order.

I also have a 2200 which I feel so-so about. I have a replacement
warranty on it so I could return it and get full store credit for it
(not cash unfortunately)  I already have $399 store credit so by
returning the 2200 I'd have about $1000 store credit. Would it make
sense to move up to a larger format printer? I have been selling my
13x19 images pretty well. Getting $175 to $225 for them at shows but I 
don't show that often. Could probably get more for larger images.

Thanks for considering these questions. I obviously have decisions to
make and soon.
