And if they are properly maintained should last an extremely long time 
for most artists. The 9500 was built for the industrial printing 
market, it was made to run for years with only a stop when the paper 
runs out. It is said that they were not designed by Epson, but by 
either Mutoh or Mimaki (I forget which one) makers of really industrial 
strength large format printers.
