RE: Epson 1300 Photo Printer

[Ray McGuinness <raymc@gjct.net>]

<x-flowed>Actually I think with printers we are out of the time frame where 
Moores law might apply and approaching the "Law of diminishing 
return" portion of their development. There are very small 
incremental picture quality improvements between models. If you buy 
every second or third generation the improvements may be significant. 
this  has nothing to do with RAM, storage space, even computers. Just 
physical limitations(Camera lens) and what the human eye can 
perceive. Also Epsons money machine is probably ink. The more 
printers they can sell the more ink is sold. They practically give 
away models like the 740. Its a marketing masterstroke to develop 
archival ink, now they will sell more printers because of the ink. 
Which leads to selling more ink.
