Re: Question, was The Doorstop Printer

I would stay away from the 1200 for quadtones. You will have total ink
issues to deal with for quads and the 1200 is notorious for putting
unusable amounts of ink down even with color. Just my opinion, others
here may have good things to say about the 1200 with quads. Longevity
with MIS quad inks is an issue, particularly the light ink, which you'll
have more of with a 6 color printer. I think the 1160 would be a great
quad printer.
