I finally delivered the 850 prints, CDs, contact sheets from my last job--- AND took delivery of my brandy new cam today. I'm celebrating--by going to bed early LOL. I'll be back around now--a couple of weeks out of the loop, altho' while I was printing, I checked in occasionally. Diane

I got an Olympus E-10. I've been driving the folks on the Oly SLR forum on dpreview crazy with my 'angst' about which to buy--the 10 or the 20, due out this week. I finally decided on the 10 since the new options don't affect my kind of shooting much, we all expect the images to be the same (no big changes) and I saved a bundle from 17th Street Photo. Now, I can buy some accessories Smile. Never again printing that much--got suckered into it, but they turned out great. I have 2 Epson printers on 2 computers and they ran 18 hours a day--with no hitches. Went through 38 color carts and 3 black. I swear by Atlex for good pricing on Epson ink (still haven't tried optionals). Diane

Quite a testimonial to your persistense. You might try to contact Epson. They might be "grateful" for the reference to the reliability and usefulness of their products. Happy hunting with your new camera.

What models of epson were you running? Just picked up an epson and so far so good. It is a lot cheaper to run that my lexmark thats for sure. It cost me al most 200.00 in printer supplies for my lexmark.

I have an 875DX and the new entry level 780. In the future, I plan to buy one of the wide formats, but don't really need it now. I was concerned about the 780 because its' 'build' isn't as good as the 875, but it did just fine with its 425 prints (these aren't all the same, BTW--56 different settings and 15 of each or thereabouts). I found Atlex www.atlex.com to be the cheapest for Epson print supplies--and FAST. Diane

Now I feel better I just bought a 780. My Lexmark z51 just does not seem to produce the same quality.
