The EPSON Stylus Photo 870 and Stylus Photo 1270 are designed for

720 dpi bi-directional printing
! 6 ink colors (black, cyan, magenta, yellow, light cyan, light
magenta)
! Microweave printing to reduce banding
Two built-in interfaces
! Bidirectional parallel interface (IEEE-1284 level 1 device)

The EPSON Stylus Photo 870/1270 also feature quiet DC motors for

In addition, a built-in chip on each ink cartridge keeps track of the
amount of ink in the cartridge. This lets the user take a cartridge out
and put the same one back in at a later time without the printer losing
track of the amount of remaining ink. For more information about
replacing ink cartridges, see "Replacing an Ink Cartridge"
