Ok, ok, here is my dilemma for small prints. I know that the Roland will be fine for large prints, but for the 11" x 14" size, using the Pigmented Inkset, it may be a little to grainy (the jury is out on this one me). If I knew that the desktop models will take the Roland Pigmented inkset, my problem is solved, I'd much rather use the desktop printer for the small stuff. I wonder if anyone can confirm running the Roland Pigmented 6 color inkset in the 5000 the EX or the 900. Hmmmmm, on the other hand maybe I'll print up an art project involving a bazzillion wallet sized photos and push the repeated image to the max in this postmodernist world on one sheet, then the Roland will be a must buy!
