Hi Marc

I jumped from 1290/Piezography to the 4000/QTR. (I still use the 1290 and
get excellent results, but 4000/QTR is to my mind 99% as good)

It also has the advantages of what appears to be a robust and well made
machine, it is very fast compared to the 1290, it prints 42cm wide, and it
will also do colour

I'd recommend it (Price in Switzerland was about CHF3000 (EUR1900) 

Cheers

Richard
