Hi Tom,
Its me again :). I am in the process of narrowing down a choice for a
printer also for myself. Picked up a Minolta Scan Dual now I need a printer
to go with it. All feedback and readings seems to point to Epson so I
am investigating the 870/1270 line. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like a fragment
to see what type of quality is possible. Was just offered a 1200 for $650 CDN,
so am going to find out what the big difference between the new and old
is. Being the type of person I am, I cannot take the fancy looking canned
picture that the printer spews out as a demo from Epson. Need some real
life comparisons on good photo paper. Your offer was most opportune. Thanks.
