Not sure what A3 means. What is an A2 and what is an A3? What is the difference between the two? (I have read reviews of most of the printers mentioned, but don't recall the A2/3 stuff). TIA, Marnie aka Doe

Re: A3 photo printer
Unless forced by Government Fiat it will never happen. What will happen is that the useful metric sizes will be adopted, and older measures will be used where appropriate. The real proof that the United States is more democratic than most other countries is that our government can't make such changes by the stroke of a pen.

I was very interested in the 4000/4800 too, but it is a much larger purchase ... price, size, supplies, etc. I decided to run with the smaller size for the present as I need the larger print size somewhat infrequently at present. I'll be interested to hear your experience with the 4800 if you buy one. Godfrey

Re: A3 photo printer
Cotty sent me three or four photos which, I assume, were printed on the S9000. Maybe it's the skill of the operator, but compared to some prints I've seen made on HP and Epson printers, these stood out as being superior. Godfrey showed me some prints made, I believe, with his new Epson, and they looked very nice. I didn't see them in good light, so I'd reserve judgement as to their ultimate quality, but from what I saw, I'd look into that printer as well (Epson R2400?)

Re: A3 photo printer
Hi, Of the Epson models the R2400 seems to be the current must have A3 one. I've been very pleased with my Epson 2100 though you can get a slight bronzing of the pigment ink on gloss paper. This issue has been addressed in the R2400 (R1800). I'm not sure this is enough to persuade me to upgrade though.

Re: A3 photo printer
Hi, Because the 2100 has been successful I've found that more recently a number of paper brands are offering ICC profiles for the particular paper stock based upon Epson's own ink. May be I'm not picky enough but I've been very satisfied with the results, both in terms of density and colour balance, using these to print from within Photoshop.

I went through this selection process recently, upgrading from an Epson 1270/MIS Quadtone ink set/QuadToneRIP. The Canon i9900, HP 8750 and Epson R1800/R2400 all come up as being top picks. I went for the R2400 due to the print quality and papers available in matte surface for large-size printing, and for the excellent BW quality. It's an excellent printer, I'm completely satisfied with its performance. Godfrey
