You should pick your ink system first (and I recommend Piezography, www.piezography.com) before picking the printer. Ask which printer works best with those inks. I use both the 3000 and the 1160 for Piezography, and I really find the 1160 to be exceptional. You can get one for under $200 now believe it or not...
