RE: new printer

[Michael Greer <mgreer316@yahoo.com>]

Seth,

Whether one uses a 1280 ($500 printer) or an 820 ($100 printer), they can use
the same ink. The point I was making was that the 7th ink (lite black) will be
specific to the 2100/2200. The 7000/9000 series printer users aren't likely to
use 3rd party ink because they don't use them now with Epson's large format
printers because the carts are big. So an ink producer might end up
manufacturing an ink specifically/only for the 2100/2200. Will their be enough
volume to make it worth while? Maybe so. But whether it will or won't, it will
be for the time being, a 2100/2200 only product.
