The first test print was absolutely 100% perfect and we keep it in our living room to show people what great results we got. My credit card billing cycle is closed, printer just ordered Thank you very much...the $200 rebate this month sure made it easy on the budget. Which one did you get? My wife ordered the P600 She has a lot of work to do, so hopefully it will get here Monday. We did not need a larger printer because we rarely go larger than 13" x 19" and for the twice a year we need a larger print...I have a friend who does large format prints professionally and we usually barter for computer repair work. |

If I do B&W only does the printer also use the color ink. My wife thinks that if I use it for B&W only I may end up running the color cartridges out as well. |

My wife thinks that if I use it for B&W only I may end up running the color cartridges out as well. she is mistaken. they will not be used. however, the colour inks may not fare well if left unused. you want to print *something* in colour every once in a while. |

Since my laser printer does most of the B&W printing...I might still be using the old R1800 for a while yet... or I may get sick of it and take it to the recycling center. |

The definition of "perfect" being good enough that no human could tell the difference. We stick with Epson paper and ink as well...and have had incredibly good results. The only one you have to please is yourself. Unless you are selling, in which case you must please your clients. When it comes to color, my wife is more discriminatory that I am... she does make sure that Photoshop properly communicates with the printer however...she did tell me that some minor tweaks might be needed initially. It goes without saying that your wife must be happy. Otherwise, you will never be. -- PeterN |
