I have a 1290 with Imageprint (which I had to get as only Epson inks are 
available here) - fantastic printer, no problems at all, and superb Black & 
White. I got a cheapo C82 for pigment inks, and that too is very good upto 
A4 size. I might get MIS Associates dedicated Black & White inkset for this. 
It seems to me that the main advantage of Epson printers is the ability to 
use pigment inks, a vast array of papers and various RIPs, and they are 
reliably supported by a bevy of third party developers/manufacturers. As far 
as I know, Canon & HP tend to work very well only with their own papers, and 
both are dye ink based.
