I have yet to see any review from Reichman that demands as much as an
advanced worker from these producrs. Some of the reviews and work I've
seen there are even entry level, though those they are generally not his.
No doubt the site is a help to people, but there's no replacement for
these lists and the experience here, particularly for printing.

I've gotten a remarkable amount ot useful and expert information from Neil
Snape over the years, but his HP review has a disturbingly happy glow to
it and lacks a lot of picky inspection some of us might want.
"What more could you want from a fine art printer?" Well gosh golly gee!!!

I'd wait for expert user reports on this one, unless you have a guinea
pig's disposable income. The sites with a lot of product reviews are
turning into some strange business model all their own.
