And who exactly are these manufacturerS of good quality ink you
mention. The only manufacturer I have heard on this NG is Sensinet and
they do not sell any consumer product under their own name. And that is
unfortunate.
 
A couple of points, first the 2100 is not overkill as a dye ink machine. If
you require bronzing free prints also it produces A3 if required and allows
the use of roll paper, it also cuts to size. I do not sell my prints but do
show them and have not had a problem with fading.

And how long have you been using dye ink?

If you want to see the difference take a look at, for example, Wilhelm
Research. If you're in the UK, then PC Pro from about 3-4 months ago
was comparing inks. Guess what, dye inks (especially Canon) didn't
last very long.

OK, I've mentioned them dozens of times already, but here's two:
Permajet and Lyson.

They only seem to specialize in inks for Epson and pigmented only.
 
You should be aware that the R1800 is not a replacement for the 2100/2200
that will follow later in the year with the 2400 Australia model, so UK and
US will most likely be different.

They are saying that the 2100 is discontinued in Australia with the
release of the R1800.

but I am not buying my pair of R1800's from them as there service is
lacking also I have now found it $170 cheaper elsewhere.
 
My info came from Epson UK, I have been told the 2400 will be in the UK
within 3 mths. This has been confirmed in Japan and Germany. Infact Epson
Japan are bussing about 2400. Epson would never replace a printer with a new
model with a lower model number, or at least they have not in the past. I
suspect they are waiting for the new ink. The R1800 is just an A3 version of
the R800.

Oops! P.S. No, they do dye inks as well for the appropriate printers.
