Well I lost my bid for an Epson 3000 today. I would like to ask those of you with a 1200 model if you think it would do as well putting photographs on canvas. I had thought that the 3000 might be better for that purpose. Also I want to do digital paintings on watercolor paper. I can only afford one, not two new printers. Any opinions welcomed. I am disappointed in the reports on the archival inks. I had planned on using the Fotonic inks, Thanks, Jan - Please: Stay on topic.
