Stefan,

Epson started using 'chiped' ink cartridges on the 1270, to keep 3rd party
inks out, and it's working <g>. So if you want a 6 color printer with 3rd
party inks the 1200 is it, for 4 color it's the 1160.

I've heard that Epson has dropped the chips for thier latest and greatest
machines, but I cant confirm this.

Larry
