Digital BW, The Print

Bernie-

IMO you get what you pay for.  HP made their inroad with low-end
high-ink-cost printers a long time ago.  True, Epson gives away some low end
stuff, but they are a much smaller company, so don't play the HP game ona
large scale.

In the large size printers Epson is a late comer, but the 2200/4000 filled a
gap between desktop and the large roll feeders.  And, their inks are known
for what they do and don't do.

Whether desktop or large scale, MOST (professional) photographers I know
choose Epson.  Must be a reason somewhere.
