The 2000p is not without its own problems. I recommend Michael Reichmann's
Luminous Landscape site, www.luminous-landscape.com, for those who are
interested in the nitty gritty. Also I believe Epson's buy-back plan for the
1270 and 870, though apparently inconsistently implemented, is mainly in
response to the company's recognition that people are using Epson printers
for serious work. I own an 870 and haven't experienced any problems with
cyan fading myself.
