from CompUSA Summary: I bought the 1280 printer based on rave reviews by a fellow photographer who owned the Epson 1270. It worked fine for a short time, but then began to leave blue and red horizontal lines in anything I printed. I tried all the nozzle cleaner, head cleaner, etc but nothing helped. I have never been able to get a print without those lines since they first began showing up.
At first, I thought it was just a problem with color printing but the lines also appear when printing black and white text. It has gotten so bad now that when printing black and white, the entire area of the text has almost a solid blue background! The printer is now considered totally useless by me and I am in the market now for a new printer. Strengths: The printer produced nice prints at first at a good speed. I liked the borderless printing too. Ink cartridges are easy to change and are readily available. Although it is a bit wide, the printer is not tall and fit well into my computer hutch. Weaknesses: Print heads clog easily if the printer is not used often. I noticed that you need to keep it in use as it seemed the more you used it, the better it printed. But the constant streaking of prints became worse and I was unable to find a way to find a solution to the problem. Similar Products Used: I used two Canon printers before this one, one being a B&W model only that made fantastic text prints, the other one being a color printer. Customer Service: not applicable
