Re: digital printers

[Glenn Barry <glenn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dee,
There will be some who can answer this on this list, but the truly definitve
answer will come from the Epson Inkjet list and archives, lively discusion and
some extremely helpful and knowledgable people. The people on the list are on
the (b)leeding edge of the technology, which seems to evolve on a daily basis.
You can get there via www.leben.com, or post to the list
epson-inkjet@xxxxxxxxx
I'd love to see some of your stuff, do you have a website?
