I think the perceived differentiation between the Epson Pro printers
and the 2200, which is nominally a consumer unit, started when Bill
Atkinson innocently asked an Epson source about the inter-unit
agreement of the pro printers, and was told that it was "3 delta-e or
less," a statement he took at face value.
However, without knowing the samples that were measured to arrive at
this figure (which I strongly suspect the Epson source whipped out of
his nether regions), it's a meaningless spec.
(If you just ran the same sheet of paper through 100 printers without
applying any ink, and measured the paper after each pass, you'd get a
very good inter-unit agreement indeed!)
I'm pretty sure Epson has little or no data about long-term
stability-they try to sell printers rather than keep them in-house.
Three printers is hardly a staistically significant sample, and even
if I factor in the other dozen or 2200s belonging to clients I
support it's still a small number, but the long-term repeatability of
the 2200s seems to be limited largely by the consistency of the media
(which mostly means the paper coating).
