Worn printer woes, was: Digest Number 3343

Hello Claude,

I know, and believe me I've thought about it.  But I'd have to partly
rebuild my studio to make it fit, and at 90 lbs I'd need help moving
it, and I never print that big.  Plus I frequently swap carts...it
just doesn't add up.  Also, like the 2200s, they are now over 2 years
old and mechanical things eventually wear out.  My 2200 was a
workhorse but its paper feed mechanism was failing.  The 4000 will
probably outlast the 2200, but not forever.  Think what your options
might be when your 4000 finally  kicks the bucket...I'd guess that
lots of things in your workflow will change.  


Regards,
Clayton
