Subject: filmscanners: RE: Photo quality printers: Hewlett-Packard vs. Epson
| I was wondering if anybody could comment on the relative quality of
| Hewlett-Packard vs. Epson photo quality printers. I just heard from a
| salesperson at a store that deals in both HP and Epson products that HP
| printers are more trouble-free than Epson. Does this correspond to the
| experience of people on the list? The Epson website stresses the
| lightfastness of Epson inks for long lasting prints. The HP site says
| nothing about this issue. How do Epson and HP printers compare for the
| longevity of photo prints made with their inks? HP printers are 4 color,
| Epson printers are 6 color. Is this difference important? I just had a
| sample photo print made with an HP printer, and the color quality seems
| excellent. Are their any other photo quality printer brands that I should
| give serious consideration to besides HP and Epson?
