Note that there is a Rebate ($150) and a trade-up discount ($50) in effect 1-30 April 2017…
E.g., see, http://atlex.itsuppliesinc.netdna-cdn.com/media/pdf/rebate/TradeUpP400,600,800April2017MIR.pdf I recently uncovered and started up my 2880 after a very long period of inactivity. Had the expected multiple passes to clean the heads, 3-4 inks needed replacing. But what bugs me is that the paper feed is working very sporadically. A true pain. Based on this thread, I did a quick google on P600, found one review that was very positive except for paper feed problems ( with certain papers). Makes me wonder though if I shouldn’t just struggle through rather than upgrading. But Godfrey’s note is encouraging... I will be interested to hear your experience. stan > On Apr 7, 2017, at 7:30 PM, Christine Aguila <[email protected]> wrote: > > I think I’m going to order the p600 in the next few days.
