I had an interesting conversation with an Epson rep yesterday at Comp USA. I told him I wasn't sure whether I'd go for the 1280 or the 2000P when it came time to replace my 1200 (which is still capable of "F" prints, but won't last forever). He said that while the 2000P prints will last longer than those from the 1280, the 1280 actually is capable of producing a wider range of color. The 2000P prints, he said, are subtler and are generally prefered by portrait photographers. He showed me sample prints of the same scan from each. The 1280 print was extremely brilliant and contrasty, the 2000P print was very attractive but decidedly more subdued. I suspect one could make up most of the difference in the way the scan is handled in PhotoShop, but it's an interesting distinction. Paul
