Yeah. I would tend to agree with this. My little Epson will spank this HP
for photo/art printing. This sucker is going to be great for bulk stuff.
For color diagrams/charts/etc., this thing is about the only way to roll.
If you are trying to get beautiful image prints, get an Epson Stylus or a
Cannon or something. Have you seen any of the wide ones?
Ooohh. Those are bad, phat, dope, fly, and stupid. (sorry. Slipped into
