The 2200 is a pretty big new thing because it gives you instead of inks, pigments which have a variety of advantages namely long lastingnes but would not give you ultra high color saturation which is OK with me. I use lower color saturations with the Epson matte papers. I think when black and white people work in color they try to keep it down, be quiet about it. You say you can put pigments into the 1280? Well if it works than to me that sounds like a good deal. To me it's amazing that the nozzles can deal with ink then pigment but who am I? :) And the 2200 has discrete pigment pods and can print to the edge. You run out of magenta; you dont have to replace everything most of which are less than half done. I hear a new Epson has just come out which cost 150 bucks and has discrete individual ink pods! Its the C82 which uses DuraBright inks. High speed performance for photo's and documents as well. http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/index.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1313895873.1046150456@@@@&BV_EngineID=cadcgicjkfjebfdmcfjgckidnk.0 Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabinergroup.com Email: mark@rabinergroup.com Fax: 503-221-0308 - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
