Digital BW, The Print

Greg,

Depending upon your skill reading Japanese you might checkout:

http://www.i-love-epson.co.jp/products/printer/inkjet/pm4000px/pm4000px1.htm

The new printer will use 7 archival pigment inks but may only handle 11"
wide paper.

Is there anyone on list who reads Japanese and might give us the critical
info off this site?

Martin,

This fellow lives in Japan and his comments suggest that this is an A3+
printer.

The Japanese site indicates that the maxium paper size is "extended 
A3" which I assume means Super A3.
