At least I thought I see its not been replaced by a newer model yet as I thought was going to happen. I'm guessing it's probably dominated the market for several years not this model. More serious people will use a 17 inch 3880. But the D300is a 13 incher. Will print 13x19's. My last show was in Manchester UK and I printed 11x17's for them. Some where cut down to 11x14's. 11x14's in the past were the default size for a photographers portfolio. And sometimes their shows but it got to be more people were doing 16x20's. In the 90's. I print a lot of 5x7's now and carry them around with me. Its my default. A quick check I see them being sold now for $749. I think there's a rebate which takes 100 off. I see on the Epson site its sold for 649 usd with the rebate they are mention. I'm surprised its still there I thought they were on the way out. inks are pigment not dye so its thought to have a nice print life so its good for a gallery show or serious collector. Your market. If your price point is higher get a 17 inch model. I had one before but could not at this point in my new life in NY make use of a 17x22 inch print. Many of my shows have been 16 x 20's so a 13x19 is a kinder and gentler version of that. And a 17x22 is that on steroids. The R3000 is great for B&W as well as color and is great for mat as I use but can do gloss a look which we wanted for darkroom work but we don't for inkjet. We want 100% rag paper which is matt. The blacks are better than we ever got in the darkroom even with special developers. http://www.epson.es/Tienda/Impresoras-y-multifunciones/Epson-Stylus-Photo-R3 000 Or http://tinyurl.com/buagkfr http://www.epson.es/es Mark William Rabiner Photography http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ > From: Lluis Ripoll Querol <lluisripollquerol at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2012 01:26:24 +0200 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] The Fishbowl - improved? > > This one was scanned with my film Scanner Plustek, I know this is not > the best, but actual film scanners as Nikon are very expensive, I > don't know about a drum scanner..., for the Epson printer, you are > right, this is an step I shall do, but on this case I will need still > more time..., BTW which printer not too expensive do you recomend? > > Thank you > > cheers > Lluis > > > > El 24/07/2012, a las 1:14, Mark Rabiner escribi?: > >> I'd have a drum scam made and buy and Epson and be an image maker. >> Your darkroom now is your Epson and your scanner and Photoshop. >> >> Mark William Rabiner >> Photography >> http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ >> >> >>> From: Lluis Ripoll Querol <lluisripollquerol at gmail.com> >>> Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> >>> Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2012 01:08:15 +0200 >>> To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> >>> Subject: Re: [Leica] The Fishbowl - improved? >>> >>> Mark, >>> >>> Thank you for your advice and kind words, I have no printer but the >>> proffessional lab where they develop my films they can do a good >>> work. >>> This picture was made in my film days, developped by me, this is >>> TMY400.
