  Interesting question -- so I tried it, and it seems to be fixed as of 
the i series, yup. It actually doesn't seem to matter if I tell it to 
use greyscale or not, printing plain black text with the default 
high-colour photo settings still didn't have any problems.

  As for photo-i, his review of the i950 (previous year's model to mine) 
says "Had I not printed the test prints myself, I would have doubted 
they were produced on an inkjet printer, let alone one that costs less 
than £300. ", which was basically my opinion.

  I'm sure that as far as archival prints go there's better ones out 
there, or if you want wide carriage, but honestly, I can't think of any 
way that image quality could get better that I'd care about. It's the 
scanner/digital camera image quality that's holding me back right now..
