QTR-Quadtone RIP

I would love to get a R1400, but don't have the cash (or permission
from the wife) to buy one :)

If anyone here is interested in trading there r1400 for a r1800 + some
cash ($100) let me know. I have 2 r1800, one that is barely used and
only has had original epson carts in it.


I thought the R1800 was also using 1.5 pl drops....
