Sal: Just my opinion, but I think at least one reason you don't see many messages on the 5500 is that it is mostly working pros who have them, and most are just busy making a living. What I have read since the printer came out is very favorable, with less metamerism than the 2000P, very fast, and very rugged. For $3400 I would hope it would be all this and maybe then some! 8) Now, if I could just win the lotto.... I notice that you are from Dallas. I live in Sulphur Springs, TX which is about a hundred miles NE of big D. I have a question for you too if you don't mind. What is the best store in Dallas to shop for the high end digitals? I would like to compare the Olympus E20 and Canon D30 in person, and have yet to stumble onto a store there that keeps both in stock.

Hello all.... I don't see much written, or talked about regarding the Epson 5500 printer. What is the general low-down on the printer? -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- - Turn off HTML mail features. Keep quoted material short.
