Second, I'm not sure where you got your info about the 7600 being "super

fast". It's not. For "contract proofing" (I love it when people use that

Spec sheet and compare them to old models like the 7000, I see on the 7000 it would cost 20-30 min for a photo at that size, the 7600 should be much faster than the 7000, but I have no real test.
Inkjet contract proofing: FYI Creo is developing a contract proofing system using just the Epson 7600 printer, the system may be available by now.
