Marnie - I have the R800 and am very happy w/it. I seldom have the need to print anything larger than 8x10, so it fits my needs well I haven't branched out into papers other than the Epson series so I can't report how it works w/other vendors papers. Epson just updated the paper profiles for the R800 so be sure to download the latest from their web site if you go w/the R800. BTW, both the R800 and R1800 use the same inkset. I've never had a problem w/clogging print heads, just be sure you turn it off using its own switch when you're not using it.
Best Buy's walk-in prices are about a buck cheaper than anywhere else if they have them in stock. They may be available cheaper on the 'net. If you give OfficeMax an empty cartridge when you make a $3.00 or greater purchase they'll either give you a free ream of paper or knock $3.00 of the price of your purchase. -P [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > My Epson 925 is getting a bit elderly.
