Dave,
my R800 arrived today and I'd like to say thanks to you for
recommending it, and thanks to everybody else who took part in the
thread helping me to decide on the printer.
I have printed a few shots this evening, with ICM turned on at the
printer, and using Qimage and I am very impressed
G'day Bob,
Excellent. Glad to here that your happy with it.
Cheers,
Dave

I find that very easy to believe... when I turn off my 2100 with its

The paper goes back and forth in them three or four times, so three

One thing to consider is that you're pricing Epson Premium Glossy
paper, one of the most expensive surfaces available from Epson, and
you're pricing directly from the Epson website ... in other words, at
retail list prices. Other choices at lower price abound. With the Oly
P440, you don't

Bob,
If you want a simple solution, it's quite simple to swap inksets with
the R200/R220 series printers, using the excellent MIS EZ-R2 inkset for
BW and the Epson colour inkset for colour work. A4 printers have less
issues with cross-contamination than the larger printers because the

It's probably more expensive than you want, but the Epson R2400 makes
superb BW or color prints with no cross-contamination of anything.
It's all done with the standard, OEM Epson K3 inkset. I printed
*everything* for my show using the R2400 from business cards to the
presentation photos

I second Godfrey's recommendation of the R2400.
Though considering you said you just want A4 size the Epson R800 may be a
better option if you decide to go the inkjet route.
