Re: filmscanners: OT-ish Epson 1270, was Repro house..

["John Bradbury" <bradbury@on.aibn.com>]

I've been using an Epson 870 for the last year. I print onto "premium Semi
gloss" and have had no problems with fading,  or shifting to orange. 90% of
the prints I sell (portraits and commercial) are output this way.
The 870 is a joy to use and is not at all to be "dreaded"
