Ben I choose to use Epson 9900s but I wouldn’t recommend them for low volume work. Our 9900s (like the 9880s before them) will do 3yrs of service, thousands upon thousands of contract proofs and then retire to give even more years of service to others. The heads aren’t consumables like they are on the Canon ink jets so replacement isn’t routine. I can only recall having two print heads replaced in 15 years of contract proofing. The harder you drive the the more reliable they are. Leave them idle and they are nothing but trouble :( Regards -- Martin Orpen Idea Digital Imaging Ltd
