Thanks, great >photolady! > >Terry Wow, Terry! I'm not an Epson expert by any stretch of the definition! I have two Epson 3000's, one for archival color printing and one for quad-black printing. They are perfect for what I'm doing - fine art prints for exhibition and sales. But they would definitely not be the printers I would choose for a newsletter. They are big, heavy, slow and don't do type that well. The newer Epson printers are much better with text and with accurate color. If you don't need archival or the ability to print very large, you can go with a much cheaper printer. I would choose the newest Epson that will print the size that you need for your newsletter. I like the Epson Archival Matte paper, but then again, you won't need archival for the newsletter, so I would choose any Epson paper that is the weight and texture that you need for the newsletter. I don't think you will go wrong with any of the newer Epsons. If you want to save money, even an older Epson that has been refurbished would probably do the job. Epson is very good about replacing printers that you are not satisfied for any reason. I've never had a problem with any of mine, but others on the Epson e-mail lists have been very satisfied with Epson's service. Good luck! I'd love to see one of the newsletters when you get it printed.
