Mike:
You have completely missed the point. I consider the people who follow
this list typical Epson users. As you read the posts you hear their
pain. Even with thousands of users out there I would be hard pressed to
find their reactions any different than ours.

Many of us on this list are commercial user and we are constantly
looking for equipment that will help us do our jobs faster, and cheaper.
I started with HP printers long before Epson brought a photo quality
printer to the market. I also paid $10,000 for the printer. It did the
job I bought it for. I am now using both HP's and Epsons. The Epson
printer do the job I want it to, but for a bit of forethought it could
do a lot better.

As for the price comparison of digital prints and photographic prints.
8x10 photo prints cost about $.45 to produce in the lab. If you are
printing the inkjet prints yourself then you have to print the photo
prints yourself to get a fair comparison.

Yes we could use someone else's product, but why would we want to? Only
by sticking with the product and constantly feeding Epson our wants and
needs will we eventually get our point across.
