Hi Austin,
Do you have another printer? The reason I ask is that the 3000 is very long
in the tooth. I had a print from Lyson demonstrating their long life inks,
and the dithering was pretty ugly compared to the Photo 700 I had at the
time. I'm just wondering how the output from an 1160 or 1290 at 100dpi
compares with the 3000, and yes I know you can't print as big. :)
