Great buy. I have an Epson 2200, the 2400's precedessor, and love it... especially 13x19 prints (actually 12x16) B&W prints on watercolor paper. Must caution you I went through 3 2200's (over a one year period) before I got one that worked reliably and predictably, however must say it was worth the work... also I wasn't alone in that many swap-outs. Of course now I'm drooling for a 4800... 16x22 prints. I saw a company (on the net) that uses one for commerical printing for photogs... food for thought. Good luck.

Congrats, Jim!!! would have loved to have gotten that one but it was out of our prices range. We settled on the R800 and like that a lot! Bet you're having fun with it!!!! :) Enjoy!!! :)

That's a lot of dosh...and the best way to recover Your (539 UK pounds) is Print out a wad of Fivers and take them to Harrods, TESCO's or the Track...if You haven't been Arrested by the End of Day...You will have a bonza Printer there Mate.

lol Tedz...sounds like some cool printers there. Amazing consumer printers they have now adays. They all use expensive cartridges consisting of various dyes or pigments, not to mention a huge selection of papers. Some of these amazing ink jets seems like a most cool investment for photography. -Jeff :-)
