RE: filmscanners: SS4000 and LS-2000 real value?

[derek_c@cix.co.uk (Derek Clarke)]

There are a load of large format Stylus Pro models that appear to use the 
same ink technology as the 2000P and therefore might have the same 
longevity, but i can't remember the model numbers offhand.

Does anyone else think that Epson are producing new printers too fast now? 

I just this moment bought an 890, that has just arrived in the UK, and 
already it's been made obsolete by the 900XMP that's on their Japanese web 
site...
