These two are very different printers. The DJ130 is excellent for photography but if you get the inks the slightest bit damp the image is ruined.
If you print on matte or canvas the 7600 is a far superior machine. Much more flexible in what it prints on. The DJ130 needs the HP papers to get the archival ratings and I think coating images as you would canvas is out as the inks are not water resistent. The 130 is much better about never clogging and reliability that way and used far less ink. Incredible in that regard. If you are a photographer printing on photo surfaces only I would think about the 130. -Jonathan --- In [email protected], "pb19149" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've owned a Epson 7600 for many years.
