Replaced mine with a used 1280 about a year ago. The carriage that holds the ink cartridges cracked so I can't align the cartridges. I had repaired it once for the ink sponges filling up and Epson doesn't tell you that can happen. All the lights started flashing and I was getting ready to toss it when a friend told me that it can shut down due the sponges filling up and it was $160 to fix. It was a good printer but with all the new ones out there that are inexpensive and give as good results as the 1200, I 'd just buy a new one.
