Digital Darkroom in a box!

By Sierra shooter

from Reno, NV on 2/5/2007

Pros:

Accurate Color, Easy Set Up, Good Resolution

Cons:

Poor Software

Best Uses:

Artwork, Color Printing, Photos and Graphics

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Right out of the box, quick to setup, install drivers and your ready to print great looking mid-sized photos. Black & White printing just got bumped to a higher level with dedicated monochrome inksets. I may miss the hours spent in the dark for 1 good print. Maybe not.

Bottom Line:

Using the 1280 for the past three years and it just keeps on doing a great job. Heavy use, and like a Timex "it keeps on ticking. Great for my photograpic avocation. I've sold a few images, and the customers are "wowed" by the resolution and real life colors. I created a six image "stitched" 180-deg. landscape of the North Harbor, Grand Manan Island, NB, Canada... 13"X44" and wow.

Five years and still kicking

By Nalini

from San Francisco, CA on 11/16/2006

Pros:

Accurate Color, Easy Set Up, Good Resolution, Reliable

Cons:

paper tray requires space, Slow Print Speed

Best Uses:

Color Printing, Office, Photos and Graphics, Print proofs

Have printed over 100 8x10" color images for convention facilty marketing department. Still kicks out a great long lasting product. Never had to calibrate colors, never had to service it.
Only downside is that a full set of new cartidges (B&W plus a color) costs $[...]; premium paper can be bought generic bulk to save costs. The best value printer around.
Use in conjunction with a Canon Powershot G3, Adobe Photoshop and a Mac G4. Fabulous.
