RE: Epson 3000 still a viable option?



Erie,

I have a copy of the R9 driver if you are interested in going the FSN ink
route. I used that combination with great success (at least until the
nozzles clogged) with my 1160. It makes really nice neutral toned prints on
matt paper and the 3000 should do the same.

And BTW, QTR does have support for the 3000 though you may have to create
your own curves.

Don,
I already have a HP8750 that I like, but the 13x19 limit is a little 
restrictive (alot of my work is scanned LF negatives, that due to a lack 
of darkroom, I can't print at the moment) With my upcoming 16x20 camera 
almost finished, I have a way to scan, but not print, and it seems 
pointless to scan a 16x20 neg to print smaller.
