I think the 1280 and 1290 use an ink cartridge with a chip in it. This stops you using third party inks. Not a great problem unless you want to use the true black and white inks that specialist companies make. If you do a lot of black and white, the 1270 is best I think. A word on pigment

TI has a new 6 or 7 ink printer out: The 5550, I believe. As I recall, it does 6x4 borderless, and will print up to 8x10. About $150, and supposedly in the Epson/Canon quality class. And I don't believe the carts are chipped. -Lon

Pål, My experience is that the Epsons give the absolute best quality. I have owned 3 in the past. There is a caveat with them, however. The heads are not user replaceable. If you get a bad clog (can happen and did to me on 2 different printers), you have to send them in for service. That
