I have an 1160, and they make a system for it but I'm concerned about the installation.

I've just begun printing with MediaStreet's Generations ProPhoto inks on an older Epson 1200 (purchased used from a fellow LUGger) which prints up to 12"x18". MediaStreet provides free profiles, the inks are supposed to last quite a long time w/o fading, I haven't noticed any metamereism yet, and a wide variety of papers are available including heavy weight matte papers. I had to tweak the profiles a little bit and this printer is slower than current models but the output is GREAT. Total startup cost was about $200.
