Hi Chris, I would give some serious thought to ponying up the extra £ and going with the Epson 2100/2200. The three main reasons would be: 1. Archival inks 2. Individual ink tanks (I use 2 black and light m &c to one of others aprox.) so the ink saved may make up the difference in cost over time. 3. Availability of profiles for it. I have found printing to profiles much better then other forms of color adjustment. Epson's stock profiles aren't that good but I found out that Pictorico's profiles work fine for the Ilford and Lex-jet papers I use. Ilford has posted profiles for their Gallerie smooth gloss and pearl (free) I've downloaded them but haven't used them yet.
The difference is about $300 here in the US. I don't know how it is across the pond. I've been extremely happy with the 2200. Butch Each man had only one genuine vocation - to find the way to himself. Hermann Hesse (Demian)
