At time of purchase (2002?) the 1220C offered value for money as a postscript compatible A3(+) printer. I suppose it has lasted well and image quality is potentially great, but otherwise this printer has been very frustrating! Firstly, postscript compatibility was only available using the bundled OS9 Press Ready software, which was excellent but soon became redundant. Secondly, print quality is let down by streaks on every single printout, caused because the machine frequently fails to load photo paper yet continues to print the whole job, coating the mechanism in swathes of wasted ink which cannot be cleaned. Over the years I've complained and returned so much jammed photo paper on the basis the manufacturer said it was HPDJ1220C compatible - reading this I finally realise it was in fact a common fault with the 1220C itself!
