Can someone comment on the differences between the two? TIA. Photo Ex = 4-color cartridge Photo 1200 = 6-color cartridge, smaller dots However, had I been thinking more clearly, I might've given the 4-color printers (particularly the big 3000-series) more serious consideration for dedicated black-and-white work, as until recently, greyscale ink kits were only available for the 4-color models. So far, I have not printed out anything beyond A4 at max resolution, mostly because it's proven very memory intensive: Upgrading my machine from 64 to 192 megabytes of RAM has reduced print times from 5 hours to about 15 minutes, but I defintely could use more RAM. Anyone found a good deal on PC100/PC133 modules? Best I've been able to do previously was $100/128 megabytes (CompUSA, after rebate), but prices since that time seem to be up sharply. - -- Jeff Segawa Boulder, Colorado www.boulder.net/~4season
