Actually the printer he mentioned for $49 I think was one that used to cost around $299 at one time unless I'm mistaken (not as familiar with Epson as I am with Canon and HP). Kent Gittings

I've never seriously printed photography on an Ink Jet. One thing that has occurred to me, though: The recent (4+ years and counting?) spate of color inkjet printers are junk compared to some of the old ones, which were actually spec'd at decent duty cycles. I would NOT buy a 49 dollar printer, not from Epson, or IBM, or HP, or Canon, or nobody. I actually like things that will work for a decade or so. -Lon - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
