Re: 1200 THAT MUCH better than EX?

[rohcris@vtx.ch]

Hi,

I had still the 800 model, bought just before the first photo appeared and 
wanted to upgrade to a photo printer and a larger format; knowing the 1200 
was to be issued soon, I waited for it instead of buying the Ex. 

On the other side, I don't think there is a huge difference between the 1200 
and the Ex; it's visible with a magnifying glass and may be to a very exercised 
eye... but if I had the Ex and the 900, I'd wait for a next improved model 
before upgrading..

There is a www site you can look at for comparison between all the Epsons' 
models since the 800... someone will surely give you the URL at this point.

BTW, it's my understanding that the 900 does also use variable dot size (this 
is why it prints faster than the 1200 or 750).

> I have a Photo EX (for printing scans from my Nikon LS-2000) and a Color 900 (mostly for regular business use, but it seems ok for photos, too). I have a potential buyer for my EX if I want to sell it, but would I gain that much by going to a 1200? I'm after the highest quality photo prints 
from my negatives/ slides, and the EX seems ok. Given that I have a 900 already, would I gain anything here?

and 1200. Any thoughts?
