Digital BW, The Print

Jules,

This is what I've read, so far, from a couple of different sources:

1. Low build quality.
2. Lower photo quality results when compared to comparable Epson printers.
3. Paper selection limited to 2 HP papers. I believe they're glossy and satin finish.

I have no actual experience with this printer. I've also read that if you like glossy prints, the color gamut of this printer is reported to be exceptional, and that some photographers swear by it. FWIW

Thanks Allan,
I'm trying to decide what WF printer to get (in a couple of months) 
and comparing them all. I have a C84 but it just ain't big enough, 
and that 24" is pretty compelling.

Thanks again

Jules
