Digital BW, The Print

My 1280 blocked up all the time. It drove me crazy!
I know a few people have not experienced this problem but many have. 
My 220 has yet to clog even once.

I'd urge you to avoid the 1280. Altho you will be limited to 8.5X11,
the 220 can be bought for $69, still. (And there are Epson rebates out
there)

Howard
