So far I only have experience with Epson 3000, using MIS cartridges, but
I am pleased with the purchase, and how it prints using Photoshop 5.0.

I bought my Epson 3000 on eBay 2 weeks ago, for $520.00, with a set of
full MIS cartridges, and a set of MIS cleaning cartridges included, but
without an RIP or Ethernet card. I monitored eBay auctions for about a
month prior to bidding, and the prices are pretty tight for well kept
machines, between $500 and $600, with machines that include RIP's and
Ethernet cards, or other nice extras going in the upper $500's, up to as
much as $700, for a fully loaded machine. (RIP, card, docs, drivers, low
page count, etc.)

With resale values like these, a lot of people must think the 3000 is a
considerably better machine than the Epson 1520, which barely breaks the
$300 mark, even with a RIP and an Ethernet card.
