I have made hundreds of prints up to 13"x19" with my Epson 2000p and it has
worked flawlessly. I can just tell from the way it sounds that it is a
well-made, precision instrument. I also have an HP 2000C and its photo
quality prints can't begin to compare with the Epson's. Granted, the HP
printer is from a previous generation. The HP has also worked flawlessly and
is a great general purpose printer. The Epson is a dedicated photo printer.
