It's probably time to upgrade. I think you bought yours shortly after I bought mine, which was October 2005. Mine's still going well, sometimes getting a little funky on the feed but otherwise reliable. I've made 4500+ prints with it. When it's time is up, I'll move to the R3880 or a refurb R3800 as the R2880 has smaller ink tanks than the R2400 and is more costly to run. (I'd like to go with the industrial strength R4xxx series, but that's going to cost a substantial bit more.) -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
