Very interesting discussion, really.
Are the ink cartridges priced about the same for low-end and high-end ?
The cartridges for the Epson 4800 are very expensive. The thing holds 8
carts, each one costing either (Canadian) ~$75.00 or ~$110.00.
The less expensive cart holds 110ml of ink, the more expensive one holds
220ml of ink.
The have a lot of capacity for the money.

If you move up to the big machines, you also get much lower operationg
costs.
It costs me somewhere around 3 dollars a foot to make 16 inch wide
prints.
It seems to me it was costing me close to double that on my small Epson.
