ibn Ezra, & Matsuno:
As an angry 7700 user I won't buy Xerox forever maybe, the DC12 which I'd considered is not so good either and too much $$$.
Right now I'm considering the following combination:
For contract proof: Epson 7600 + BestColorProof Medium Edition, yes you need to do profiling but there are such service easily available. Speed should be no problem as the Epson 7600 is super fast, but cost is much higher than laser's, that's the contract proof.
For non super-accurate proof: Epson color laser + BestColorProof Laser Edition, also need profiling service. Check the laser model the BestColorProof supports first.
Above total cost should be within the range Matsuno set.
Any idea on the combination appreciated.
Thanks,
JM Shen
