[...] Before you spring for the 1270, you should look into the "orange shift" problem. In brief, many people have had trouble with the 1270's inks shifting to orange on many papers. Various theories have been put forth. Searching www.google.com with "Epson 1270 orange shift" gives >150 hits, the first couple seem to be a good intro. to the problem. Since the 1270 has chipped cartridges, third party inksets are tough to come by. Some Lugger (maybe Mark Rabiner?) has been doing really nice work on a 1200, using a CIS system to keep the cost down and Generations inks (I think). Part of the trick seems to be to invest in a profiling package so that you can really push the gamut of the inkset to its limits. g.
