My (now ancient) Epson 1280. In fact, it is working so well that I may pick 
another one up used for ~$150-$200, then I can dedicate one to B&W. There 
are times I need to pull my hair out and do the head de-clogging magic, but 
I think I finally found the magic, albeit ink wasting solution to that 
problem.

A new R2400 may produce as good or better output, but the price of a 1280 + 
UT2 can't be beat.
