As a reseller, the issue has almost always been print life. We try to define
a customer from the outset to find out if print life is a issue. If the
answer is yes, then the Epson has a clear advantage. Wilhelm Research is
showing 60-100+ year life on the R800/1800 on materials that he has tested.
Canon claims 25 years. (If Canon ever decides to import the long life ink
set they have in Japan, this may change.) Should that make a difference to
someone buying a printer with the idea of selling prints? It seems to.
