To me that sounds like a very expensive proposition to make 0nly 30 or so prints per year.. Plus the cost to decommision and recommision the printer as time moved forward.. lastly the depreciation on the printer even though it was used little would end up on the books really affecting what it cost you to make prints .. I don't know if you have any printmakers over there but I think it might make sense to figure out how or what you'd have to do to  out source the prints.. step back and compare the costs and benefits of going that way versus what your looking at now....... just a thought..

  Hello. 

  I am really keen on getting a 9890 to do eboni prints.

  but am having second thought or at least moving to getting it closer to the end of the year. 

  Some advice would be good. 

  on my situation:

  I'm in Singapore. I document my country land and people. been doing it 4 years now. I got a job and try to make pictures as much as I can. 

  I don't do a lot of prints only when i reach a lull stage or need to do review of pictures. 

  So the 9890 would go without use for months. (I will put clear-base in when the machine is not in use)* would this be advisable?

  I would make maybe 20-30 prints 1 year. mostly 20 by 30 and a few 40 by 60. 

  I want the final control of my print Eboni warmth on RR Aurora really got to me.
