Re: printer reviews?

I use an Epson R2880 for color fine art printing and I love it.  The Epson OEM inks are the latest K3 pigment inks, and with acid-free paper (I use Moab Entrada Natural),  I think it's a good combination for longevity.  The ink cartridges in the R2880 are not very large.  The Epson R3000 comes with much larger cartridges,  they are very costly to replace, but the ink is much more economical in the long run.

The R2880 makes excellent BW prints too, however, I have a dedicated BW printer, an Epson 1400 with MIS Ultratone UT14 inks.  Again, pigment inks.  Makes excellent BW prints.
