Re: [APML] LightJets?

Hello John and other ink jet users:
     The Epson 1270 and 1280 ink jet printers seem to make prints larger
than 8x10 inches.  I only need to go up to standard size paper of 8.5 X 11
inches.  Is there an ink jet printer of similar quality to the 1270/80 for
the standard sizes with hopefully a less expensive price?  Also, can you use
ink refill kits with these printers or are new Epson ink cartridges needed
to get good results?  Can these printers be used economically for text as
well, or should I use my old HP722C printer for this task?
