Tim: From what I read of the 1270, which came out shortly after I purchased
the 1200 :-(, the ink jet nozzles were smaller. I say, so what! I'm not
concerned that the prints I produce will fade in 1,5, 10 years, whatever.
That's easily rectified by pressing the print key. However, the clogging
issue is a bit disconcerting. I'm hopefull that this will not be a problem.
Perhaps purchasing a purging ink cleaner might solve the problem.
