Hi David,

It's pretty simple to explain,

1) Use Epson because that's what everyone else does, so lots of support.
2) If you are on a tight budget then you want to get either an R800 or R1400
if not then the R1900 is the printer of choice.
3) Inks - well if you have $$ buy Cone inks from Inkjetmall, if not them
home brew. http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/ is the home brew Guru. More
info on the printers there as well.

I am in UK as well. So if you need more info on where to get what - just
ask.

Mike
