I changed the expired link to just text, Gary...

I love the 2000P... the only reason for the 890 is that they don't produce the super high gloss finish paper for the 2000P and the inks are cheaper for the 890 for the every day printing.

The Archival paper is great especially when you figure that when used with the 2000P inks, a print should last over 100 years... the other 3 surfaces of the paper that they produce for the 2000P are also nice I especially like the Watercolor paper. They also have Premium Semigloss and Premium Luster Photo Paper.

I had a 1270 (sold it to friend to help pay for the 2000P), before I got the 2000P and I loved it and that is why I bought the 890 for the glossies. The 890 is basically the 8 X 10 version of the 1280 which replaced the 1270, which I think just added borderless printing to become the 1280.
