It cost me $150 for the OS X software and $88 for two cartridges. I then went out and got the Epson 960 to do my color printing for ~ $380 - the total is slightly less than the cost of a new 2200. So far I've been happy with both the conversion and the switch to the Epson 960. ernie At 09:44 AM 2/24/03 -0800, you wrote: >I hear that the Epson 1280 provides even better color than the 2200 >although not as archival (25 years as opposed to 80 years).
