If you've got the money, check out the new Epson 4000... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000YWRIY/ref=ase_interactiveda37-20/102-7078659-3538510 and http://www.photo-i.co.uk/News/Oct%2003/Epson4000.htm > Also does anyone join me in having a problem that > ink-jet paper is just > as expensive as B&W photo paper and it doesn't > contain any SILVER?

It doesn't have silver in it, but it isn't just plain paper, either. Modern inkjet papers, especially photo papers, have pretty complex chemical makeups in their coatings that are designed to actually interact with the ink to enhance stability and color. The R&D costs of traditional photo papers are pretty much paid for. I'm not sure that's true of inkjet papers. Even given that, I'm sure paper is a very high profit item for the printer makers, but since people are willing to pay for it... And there are cheaper brands out there, if you want to use them. ===== Bob Meyer I wish I knew what I know now, when I was younger... http://www.meyerweb.net/epson __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
