Ken, yes I want another Epson stylus photo.. my current one is the R220
The Epson stylus Photo p2000 sounds right so I could print on 12 x 18
paper.
Thanks!

I've got several Epson printers one as old as 18 yrs - an Epson Stylus
Photo - and another an Epson Stylus Photo P2000 that does 13" X 19",
and none have ever given me many problems - an occasional head cleaning
after long periods on non use is about all I've ever had to deal with.
Its really nice and convenient to be able to make your own prints -
especially the larger format ones.
I'd definitely recommend the Epson line.

Subject: Re: looking for wider format epson inkjet printer
Ann,
I have no reviews, and I'm virtually never one to stand between
someone and spending their money on a new toy but, frankly, I'm not
sold on the economics of purchasing large format printers. Unless
something has changed recently, inkjet printers are a Royal Pain the
Ass. Of course, it depends upon the number of prints that one
realistically needs to make, but if you factor in:
a) the original cost of the printer
b) the cost of the consumables (paper and inks)
Divide that by the number of prints you expect to produce in a couple
of years to get a per print price.
I may be wrong, but I'm betting that it is a higher per print price
than you can get commercially.
Maybe I'm wrong, but from what I've read you will be dealing with
plugged inkjet nozzles, lots of ink wasted on nozzle purges (instead
of making prints). Prints thrown in the trash because of said plugged
nozzles. And perhaps worst of all, no one to yell at but yourself.
That is ignoring the fact that your time is worth something and the
time you spend producing the prints is time you could be doing
something else.
If someone has an alternative view of wide format inkjet economics,
I'm all ears.
