Bruce,
I've been asking myself the same question lately. I currently
have an Epson R220, but I do not use it for printing photos. I have
previously tried using it to print photos, but out of maybe a dozen or
more attempts only one or two have been acceptable.
On the other hand, I just spent $150 on prints (16 or 17, some
11x17 and some 8x12). If I could figure out this whole inkjet
printing game, the R1900 would be a good deal ($500) to save money in
the long run.
I'm just a little "printer-shy" due to my R220 experiences...
