For that matter, Dan, the process also works on the 1280.

Contact me off-list and I'd be happy to send you a print produced on an
Epson 1160 - once you go quadtone digital you will never go back to the wet
darkroom. ;-)

Dan -

I've never used anything but the 3000's.  I have two of them and they have
both worked perfectly since I got them.  You do need to use the Piezography
software with the 3000's because it changes the rather large dot pattern of
the 3000 to a dotless pattern.  The large ink cartridges make it possible
to use the quad-black inks, either Piezo or MIS, without the Continuous Ink
System.  Jon Cone says on his site that the 3000 is the perfect printer for
Piezography.
