Dave - Go to this page... http://tinyurl.com/y9bk There are links there to two PDF's, one leads to a Ink and Paper Compatibility Guide and the other to Print Permanence Ratings.

Re: OT: I love the R1800!
Dave - Epson's web site lists the dye based inks used by the R200-R300 series as lasting 30 years on their Matte Paper Heavyweight. They say the pigment inks used in the R800/R1800 are good for 100+ years. No listing for the newer inksets used in the R2400. While pricier than the R220, I have the R800 and couldn't be happier with it. -P David J Brooks wrote: > Me no, but my customers know were i live.:-) > > The Canon S800 and bci inks are speced out at around 25 years, i > think.

Actually, i bought the R220 last spring, but never set it up. Somewere i heard, maybe here, that the prints were not archival, so i did not want that for my sales prints.

If you can live with A4 prints, get whatever Epson R200 series printer that is the current model.

Re: OT: I love the R1800!
If you're using Epson papers and their profiles with the R1800 and R2400, you rarely need to profile the printer. You need to calibrate your monitor and adopt a color managed workflow. some folks have gotten good results with the Huey. I tend to prefer the Eye One Display 2 ... the software is more adaptable.

Re: OT: I love the R1800!
I'm quite happy with the R2400. Colour prints are great, but B&W is where it really shines & is why I got it. I would have loved the R4800 but there was no way I could justify the cost. If I ever need larger than A3, I'll go to one of the local labs. A full set of inks is relatively expensive (about AU$200), but I don't tend to print a lot (mainly because I don't have anywhere to hang the prints :-), so the ink cost is spread over 6 months or more. I really can't recommend with regards to operating costs, I haven't bothered to work out a per print cost. If you want to print A3+ sized prints & excellent, IMO, B&W output I highly recommend the R2400. If you don't need A3 size & aren't fussed with B&W output, from everything I've heard & read the Epson R800 is supposed to be very good.

Re: OT: I love the R1800!
I'v narrowed my next printer down to the R1800 or Canon's 9000Pro model. Both similar in papaer spec's and price, with the Epson a tad cheaper.

Re: OT: I love the R1800!
Is still don't know if I should by a printer. I'm not printing now (only a have a colour laser hum...) but would like to do so. However, price (printer as well as inks & paper) is really scaring me. I'm really on budget.
