11x17 Printer ~ HP OfficeJet 7000
Anyone have any experience with the Epson 1400 printer?

I need an 11x17 (+) printer for printing the occasional CAD drawing. Previous large format inkjet was an HP 1220C which did me well for 7~8 years but no longer works.
Don't really care about photo printing, but the ability to print on CDs/DVDs could be useful.
I have an HP 1320n (B&W duplex laser) so I'm not worried about text or volume.
Since this will be occasional use, and mostly B&W at that, my concerns revolve around the ink:
- The possibility of ink drying up and clogging the printhead.
- The ability to print even if the printer thinks that one ink cartridge is dry (empty).
It's on sale for another few days ($370 - $120 = CAD$250) so I have time to think about it.
I'd go used but there isn't much on Kijiji that cheap around here anyway. $150 used printer + $100 in new ink cartridges = $250 so I might as well buy a new printer.
Or any other suggestions for a 11x17 printer?
