RE: get rid of 1280, and buy a 2000?

["Cathy Brown" <catbrown@prodigy.net>]

If you own a 1280 and want more longevity, why not consider a CIS and
third-party pigment ink instead of the 2000p. It will cost you a lot less
and give you better results.

I suggest for a start that you check out http://www.mediastreet.com

I have them both here, and compared to the 1280 the 2000p is slower, less
sharp, less brilliant; and far less profilable and color consistant. Since
you already own the best photoprinter out there, its hard to move backwards.
Why not wait for the 2000p replacement, which should have fewer limitations?
