virtually all my printing is 11x14 and larger for my permanent portfolio. anything i care about for more than a year or two goes on Epson large format printers with archival digital inks and is considerably more expensive, but they get sold or given away as gifts. none of those can afford to be printed with nonarchival inks on cheap media. i'm seriously thinking of getting the Epson 4000 for my business. it is a better printer than the 2200 in terms of throughput and paper handling.
