Have you compared the output between the 1200 and the 3000? Are you satisfied that the 3 color+B&W inks of the 3000 equal the performance of the 4 color+B&W of the 1200. Any other considerations than the capacity of the ink cartridges? I have to drive to Washington DC (about 3 hrs) to see this stuff in the flesh, as it were, but your website tells me that your judgment in what makes a good print and mine can't be too far apart. Thanks for any feedback that you can give me. Chandos >Paul - > >I'm still experimenting myself and getting much better results than I ever >imagined.
