Could you explain this a bit more? When we run out of
ink on our HP 3800CP, we have to replace the heads as
well the ink packs. From your post I assume that is
not the case with the Epson units. About how much does
it cost to replace each print head on the Epson? (I
assume there is one head for each ink instead of one
large head for all the inks.)

By what do you mean "considerable work?" Frequent
linearization and/or profiling, or lots of profile
editing?
Also, I may be wrong about the inkset on this unit--it
may be pigment. If it is in fact pigment inks, would
you anticipate it being just as hard or easier than
the dye inks to get a good match on the Epson 10000?

By quality what do you mean? Are you referring to
color quality (i.e. getting a good match to the press
sheet), or are you talking about the screening,
coarseness, banding, etc. of the the output?

Are there other criteria other than stability or gamut
by which you judge inks?

About how long do let the Epson or HP output cure
before measuring?
Thanks for all your input, Terry. Unfortunately, I've
been involved with this decision only at the very end,
hence the time cruch on my fact-finding mission. Since
I will ultimately be the one who will setup, maintain,
and use this equipment and workflow, I want to make
sure we don't invest in something that cause me
unnecessary headaches.
