Thanks Chuck,  I have heard good things about them and I am thinking of
getting one to replace my 1270.

This seems to be a phenomenal printer, and a good value for the money.

Dick asked:
Any opinions on the Epson 2200?   Thinking of getting one and wanted to
know what the groups experience might be with this printer.

Superb printer.  I use one ocassionally that is owned by a friend.  Most

recently I used it to produce some B&W prints from a restoration job I 
had done.  A 1940's 8x10 with literally thousands of cracks in the 
emulsion.  I wanted regular chemical prints but the lab had tried three 
times to make a B&W print from the digital image and none of them suited

me.  Always too dark and contrasty.  They finally grew exasperated with 
me and offered me my money back to quit pestering them.

That's when I turned to the 2200 which did produce some beautiful 
prints.  I should note that the printer was setup for ordinary color 
work and did not have the special sets of inks that are available for 
strictly B&W work.

No scientific data here but the surface of the 2200 prints strikes me as

physically soft and prone to scratching if roughly handled... at least 
as compared to prints from my old HP P1100.  However, the image quality 
from the P1100 just doesn't compare.  The 2200 blows it away.  The 2200 
owner suggests that the prints will harden with a couple days drying 
time.  I don't know.  So far, whatever I've printed has been turned over

quickly to someone else and I have advised them to mount the prints 
under glass.

On the 2200 owner's wall there are some 13x19" portraits of young girls 
done on water color paper.  Stunning.
