Re: 2200 vs. 1280

[Michael Greer <mgreer316@yahoo.com>]

There's more to it than just wasted ink.  People assume an individual cart
printer is more economical than a printer that uses a multi ink cartridge. But
it all depends on ink volume and cart cost. Just because the 2100/2200 huses
individual tanks doesn't mean it's going to be more economical to run. If the
carts cost $12 each, then a whole set will cost $79. A black and colored cart
for the 1270/80 will $45-$50. Will the ink ones saves by using individual tanks
make up for the increased price? I don't know. But we can't assume anything
until we know the tank costs, ink volumes, and ink consumption rate of the
2200.
