Re: OT: Epson R800 or R1800
I've compared prints from the R800 to my R320. They're indistinguishable (On Premium Luster paper with Epson ink). I'd not bother with either the R800 or 1800. Get a 220 or 320 for 8.5x11 and the R2400 for larger. -Adam Paul Sorenson wrote: > Marnie - > > I have the R800 and am very happy w/it.

Re: OT: Epson R800 or R1800
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.

Heh, I know the feeling. > Anyone have experience with the R1800? Or the R800? Do you like it? What do > you like? What do you not like? My local photo club has an R1800 in their digital "darkroom." I've used it a couple of times. I haven't yet printed anything larger than 8x10 on it, but the output looked at least as good as my Epson 820's. I'm still up in the air about the replacement for my 820, whether or not I should get a wide-carriage printer. I don't print that large very often, and chances are I can use the club's R1800 when I do. -Mat -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
