Don't buy this printer...its slow...shows metamerism and has poor
gamut...but the inks last forever.  My apologies to anyone who bought one.

Actually, I don't think billing an ink set for use in commercial printing is
bad...its actually a huge part of the market.  But selling it as a fine art
option when it doesn't print acceptably on many of the major papers is
probably not a good idea.  Personally, I think the Epson 10000 is a great
commercial printer...but it is probably not suitable for someone who is
trying to make fine art color prints (definitely not fine art BW prints). I
think being honest is the key.  If you get poor metamerism on certain
papers...tell people they are not compatible...don't lie about what
metamerism is...or is not.
