Good printers, at least the Epson 6-ink ones (they use the same print engine as the R2/300's). The scanners in them are really only suitable for documents and prints, I wouldn't even bother trying to get decent neg/slide scans out of them. -Adam Glen Tortorella wrote: Thank you, Adam. How

I would avoid investing in a scanner at this point. I would estimate that about nineteen out of twenty film users who have tried digital stuck with it. Yes, a few have gone back to film. But unless fine-art BW photography is your ultimate goal, in the long run you'll spend less and do more with

Thanks, Adam. I did some research on the Epson R3x0 series. The R380 looks nice (at about $100). I looked up the Epson Luster paper you have mentioned. It seems like nice paper, but appears to be offered only in one size, 8.5x11. I tend to like the standard framing sizes, especially
