Digital BW, The Print

Mark,

I agee. As the 1280/90 was designed to work with DYE inks, it isn't the 
least bit surprising that it won't work properly with pigment inks, as you 
and others have found out. So many people just seem to think ink is ink!

It can take years of research to design an ink for a particular 
printer/paper combination, yet Joe Bloggs expects to be able to use a 
totally different ink on a totally different paper without any problems.

It is absolutely amazing to me that since I AND COUNTLESS OTHERS have
posted on this board, more than a lot of times, along with other
experienced users of this printer, what a piece of crap the 1280 has
turned out to be WITH PIGMENT INKS, that more and more people are
asking, "should I buy a 1280"...

OK, I'm changing my mind, folks. Go out and buy the frigging 1280, buy
the MIS inks, and go through the hell.

YES, the 1280 is perfect! BUY IT....BUY 5 OF F999ING THINGS, AND THEN
COME ON THIS BOARD AND ASK IF YOU SHOULD BUY ANOTHER ONE.
