In France it is called TVA, a tax for added value. There will be webpages describing how that system works and where you have to register if you start commercial activities. With low turnover in the beginning and investment in equipment etc needed, it can make a difference as you actually get TVA money back from the tax men, up to certain amount you do not have to pay if there is little profit, the amount might differ in France. When the turnover grows you have to pay TVA though on the value you added by your work. This is all separate of income and property tax, etc. The TVA system makes companies a collecting instrument of consumer's tax for the authorities.
Durabrite inks are reasonably lightfast pigment inks but they have a small color gamut and are more suitable for matte printing than gloss printing. More leaning to the office printer than to the photo or art printers.

Ernst,
Thank you so much for that info! What exactly is VAT registration? I am clueless to so many European policies, especially with money and taxes. And I will definitely take your advice about the Epson models.By the way, this might be a stupid question but are the DuraBrite inks archival? I am thinking no but I keep reading different opinions online about them.thank you again,AnnMarie
