Chip: I purchased my Epson 1200 back in January '00. Like Skip and others
who have commented on the Epson, an article in PhotoGraphic magazine
dispelled any reluctance I had to purchasing a color printer. Since I
wanted to print 11 x 14's, the 1200 was my default choice. After an initial
printing, it sat idle for 4 months. I was really concerned that the nozzles
might be clogged severly enough to warrant a return. To my relief, it has
cranked out stunning prints. I highly recommend purchasing the glossy film.
Prints made on this material are simply drop dead fantastic! No more
enlargements from Kodak for me.
