I've had my DJ 130 for over a year now and it was the best purchase I've made in a printer, I never used the Epson 7600 but a friend of mine has the Epson 4000 and the one complaint he has about the printer is that if you don't use it regularly it will clog. I use matte paper but not from HP I use Red River Paper Aurora Art Paper it is a 100% cotton rag, acid free and has no Optical Brighteners, I found the output to be very good. As far as longevity I coat mine using a product from Breathing Color called Glamour II Veneer. I hope this helps.
