I have a 1270 as well and love it. It just chugs along and works.
Costco has inexpensive paper, 8x10 glossy for $20.00 for 100 sheets.
The 1280 is a good printer as well.
I am very happy with the Epson photo Stylus printer.
If you don't need wide carriage, there is a %99.00 one that is great
....the 890??? Not sue.

I haven't kept up that last year, but up 'till then, Canon had serious
problems with fading and color shifts. (Lurid headline on cheap news
print, "Good Prints That Went Bad!".) Dry Creek's tests are a year old
and may be dated now if Canon has changed their inks, but were quite
informative <http://www.drycreekphoto.com/PrintTest/PrintTest.htm> .
There is a lot of good info about longevity, but no firm conclusions, in
Mastering Digital Printing by Harald Johnson, which is a wonderful
resource in general. There are lots of tests/reviews around, do some
surfing.
I'm quite pleased with my Epson 1270. It's old technology by now but,
oddly enough, still makes great prints.
