Re: Is Epson 4800 overkill for me?

2006-02-25 by Michael Hung

The 4800's only C$1999 after rebate in Canada till Mar 1. The 2400's
still about C$1100. The C$500 worth of ink in 4800 is making it really
attractive.. (or the 2400 unattractive).. (1USD = 1.15CDN)

The new papers discussed in this group seems to make the expensive MK
swapping unnecessary. All my customers seem to want glossy-looking RC
type prints (color and b/w) (And I don't want to explain to them the
matte paper is expensive and superior) and I only print matte for my
own profolio right now..

But I wonder what's coming up in PMA..

Although I am not sure if I will print enough to justify it.. I am
using a R800 for colour and an old 1270/UT2+Glop ink for B/W right now..
