I have not been able to verify this yet, but the information below regarding
a new printer from Epson popped up on another list. A number of people on
this list have mentioned in the past they would love to see a printer this size.

It prints up to A2 size paper: 16.5" x 23.5"

which would make a good size negative for those who don't want to go the
route of an epson 7600. There is no mention of price in US $

It also uses 220 ml individual carts, another advantage.

Epson 4000

As expected an 8 ink printer size up to A2. What some will see as
a replacement for the 3000 but in the article it is called a
replacement for the 5000. Could be both of course. Software
change between matte black and gloss black. Borderless printing
up to 48 cm / 19", roll and sheet.
Maximum speed with 8 colour mode 1 minute for A2, in CMYKCMYK
mode 0,6 minutes. Up to 1.5 mm thickness of substrates.
Monochrome prints variable in neutral, warm, cold, sepia. Maximum
cartridge size 220 ml. Ink use is software controlled like in the
7600 etc. Waste container like the 7600.

3 versions of the printer: Stylus PRO 4000-C8 is the 8 colour
version for photographers, artists, design studios. Stylus PRO
4000-4C is the 2x CMYK version for 3D-CAD, industrial design, GIS
and POP display. The Stylus PRO 4000-PS is the PostScript version
for proofprinting.
3,5 picolitre minimum droplet size. Some talk about
meniscus-control that I interprete as surface tension control to
keep blleding low and the dotshape correct. Maximum resolution of
2880 dpi. Ultrachrome ink. 70 to 75 years fade resistance a la
Wilhelm.>>>>>
