Now that is a short product life cycle.  I wonder what the problems are.

Outback photo noted some profile problems as well as issues with the Glop.
See http://www.outbackphoto.com/printinginsights/pi033/Epson_R1800.html

Perhaps Epson wants to iron out these problems on the smaller printer before
putting more eggs in that technological basket.  From what I've seen of the
MIS version of glop, I'd move slowly on that front.  I wonder also if the
smaller dot size is an issue with more clogging or other problems.

I reviewed the Epson site. There is no mention of this new printer being 
discontinued. It appears to be in stock in many places. I have been 
considering adding this printer to my workflow. I have been very impressed 
by the build quality. I would not want to purchase and have a major price 
drop in two weeks. Are you sure that Amazon is not making one of the many 
mistakes that they are so famous for over the years?
