No, the 1280 and 2200 are entirely different printers. I can't explain the
difference, but the use different ink technologies. It started with the
1270 and 2100. In theory, the 2200 is more archival, while the 1280 is
better with glossies, but I believe the tests showed them to be similarly
archival.
