Moose:
One can never say never .. sometimes!
I had a 1280 and Epson bought it back. All of my prints turned Orange in
less than 2 months .. the cyan just faded away. I now have the Canon 9000
and an Epson 2200 and have had no problems with either although I did expect
them with the 9000 since it uses dye based inks like the 1280.

hopefully this year if I can make room for it. The 6-color ink set comes in
individual cartridges, which saves a lot on replacements. I've seen prints
from it, and they're magnificant; perhaps not as punchy as those on glossy
from a 1280, but I'd rather have 990f the quality for many times the
lifetime.
