Re: Epson Roll Paper Holder

[ralph fuerbringer <rof@xxxxxxx>]

Alan & Sheri Kafton inquired about continuous printing of 44" panoramic 
prints on the 1270 epson.  The catch is the ink supply.  According to the
epson specs available on their name site the 1270 ink capacitity  is only
minisculely better than the 1200. They rate by  8x10s,a  44 incher close to
8 of these.  They dont say if ink cartridges size is different just
longer lasting in stability, an advertising play they couple with a new
heavier paper.  obviously this ink and paper will be for all their line
after the intro hype is over. The cartridges may even be the same size as
the price seems the same.  One other point: its not really flush  if you
look at their advertising pictures and specs, just about 1/2 closer than the
1200 gets.
