The claims Epson is making for the new 2200, 7600, and 9600 will be 
interesting to test: 80 years color and 100 years+ for b&w (Wilhelm), 
with toning capabilities for b&w.

After all this time I am getting weary of all the problems just trying 
to keep my former 1160's and now my 1280 non-clogged, the chips reset 
working with the 1280, etc. How nice if Epson really has an a one 
vendor solution- if their Ultrachrome inks really will work in the 
2200 for example, how nice to be able to use pigment ink designed to 
be used in the printhead that doesn't metermerise. It might be worth 
the extra ink $$.

Anyone know how I can get a sample or two?
