The last time I tried an HP printer for photos, the ink washed away
instantly as I watched when I held it under a faucet, leaving blank paper.
I wrote off HP at that point.

As for Epson resolution, I'll have to try a 4x6 of a medium-format shot and
see exactly how much resolution I'm getting under a microscope (that would
be just under 1500 ppi for the image).
