Cant really agree with you on this Jack. Yes, the 2100 was intended for Epson Ultrachrome inks but it has a couple of other serious advantages: 1. It�s a much more robust machine than the 1290/1160 and 2. Its significantly faster There is also a Lyson pigment ink set - Photochrome - available for use with a CIS > If you want to run Fotonic, buy a 1290.

I still think the 1160 with CIS is one of the best economy/print quality solutions for GP use. An A3+ printer, photo quality complete with CIS and 125ml Fotonic Inks for around �400...cant beat it.
