Well, in addition to the 130, I use an Epson R800 and an R1800, so the buying at that size has already been done. Regarding obviousity: The 24" Epson pigment-ink prints-on-anything printer costs $3000. the 24" 130 costs $1300. HP has an opportunity to take what they've learned from the 130, mix it in with what they've learned from their high-end pigment printers, and bring out something that does what the Epson does at a much lower price point. Many $$$ to be made by that route. I'm guessing $2,000 for a 130 with pigment inks that prints on canvas, vinyl, etc. It'll sell as fast as they can turn 'em out. -- stan ------------------------ Yahoo!
