Thanks Mike, I'll look into it.
I was at the Nikonian site this morning and they were pushing the HP version of the 13x23 photo quality printer. Looks very nice, but at that price I will have to pass. I do have some left over monies from this past Holiday Gifts but not enough to go that high. LOL HP looks like a very high quality as well, and I've been looking around there site. Does anybody have any comments on the HP Photo Printer? Again, I am not interested in an all-in-one joby just a Photo Quality that I can also use for text documents as well. They also have way too many choices and I can see any changes in some similar models. Thanks in advance. Not4wood "m II" wrote in message news:c_vej.43584$UZ4.19775@edtnps89...

Yeah, I finally had a chance to look at it and it looked good but for some
reason I wasn't impressed, and then I ran into the Epson Stylus R1400 and R1800's and I am stuck drooling over these. Does anybody have them, heard about them and are there any problems with them?? Thanks in advance. Not4wood "Andrew Haley" wrote in message ... D.M. Procida wrote: D.M. Procida wrote: Is it worth trying to find something that uses pigment-based inks? Definitely.

LOL, sorry I left off that because of the price I wasn't impressed. For
that price I could go for the larger printers. Not4wood "Not4wood" wrote in message news:Fu7gj.2482$vX6.199@trndny05...

I print 13X19 from my Nikon D200 and they look great. Ink is not cheap.... about $18 per for each of the 6 cartridges. |

I was in Staples earlier and they had the 1400 next to an HP 11X23 for the
exact same price. But the HP only had 2 cartridges, the Tri-Color and the Black. You had to remove the Black for the Photo Cartridge. Not too good considering we had done this almost 10-15 years ago on the Photo Quality Canon printers. The Epson had I believe 6 inks and looked a lot more sturdy. Mac Guy, would happen to know what is the maximum paper weight that the 1400 can take? I have the Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl paper and its 290gsm which is pretty high for a normal standard 8.5X11 Photo Printer. The HP DeskJet I have as a standby can't take that heavy a paper. Thanks in advance. Not4wood "Mac Guy" wrote in message news:2008010611034016807-gene@pctopguncom...

Yea, that is true. It all depends on what you need. The R800 is the smallest in Epson's range of UltraChrome pigment ink printers. It can't easily be compared with any printer that uses dye-based inks, or one that uses earler generation pigment inks. This combination of wide colour gamut and print longevity can't be obtained any more cheaply, as far as I know. Andrew. |

I have the R1800 it was a good printer but I want bigger maybe a 24" the R1800 drinks ink, plus side is it prints CD & DVD in the tray. The print quality is better especially yellows when compared to the 1280 I have. -- Reality is a picture perfected and never looking back. |
