So what if there is a replacement for the 2200? It'll still work as
well as it did before. I'm of the opinion that you do not want to buy
a new model printer. I want one of those with developed tried and true
workflows so I can make good prints, and do so easily. I don't want to
be one of those who spend time on the leading edge trying to learn how
to get a new model printer to make prints as good as the previous
model that has been figured out already. 

I watched people spend a year learning how to make a 2200 make prints
that look as good as a 1280. And while they are both mature models
now, the prints still look the same from both. There appears to be no
impending breakthroughs that will cause the 2200 replacement to make
any better prints. 

FWIW, I recently bought a new printer after printing b&w for several
years. Did I worry about the 2200 replacement? NO, in fact I didn't
even buy a 2200. I bought another 1280 which appears to be at the end
of it's life cycle. It prints as good as anything out there but is
cheaper, simpler, and I know how to make it work. 

Epson wants you to believe you must have the lastest and greatest
printer. That's good for them. But if you just want to make great
prints, and do so easily, buy one of the older models.

The one thing holding me back is wondering if it is due to be
replaced. Something introduced over two yrs ago is getting on the
"old" side.  Any comments here please.  Dan
