Hi Diane,

Just my two cents: If I were looking to print both b&w and color I'd go with the Epson 
2400. The Canon sounds exciting but I would be a bit nervous jumping on it simply 
because thorough reviews addressing all the bugs and quirks and their solutions are not 
available yet. The 2400 is a known beast at this point, though beast hardly seems the apt 
description form everyone's almost unanimous praise.

Btw, I only print b&w and love my 2200 to pieces. ;)

Good luck with your choice!
Sarah
